In recent years, the 1946-47 Propaganda Montiel "Los Reyes del Deporte" issue has finally begun to earn its due as a scarce, condition-sensitive set with some extremely important cards.  Intended to be affixed to the pages of a printed album, the Cuban cards were printed on flimsy paper, almost newsprint, most containing the player image inset around a yellow or orange border.  The 180-card set includes Cuban and Major League baseball stars of the era and earlier as well as boxers and wrestlers.

This example of baseball Hall of Famer Ty Cobb has been graded POOR 1 by PSA. Card remains nicely centered, especially for this issue, with a spot of staining towards the top. Heavy staining is present on reverse with paper loss appearing towards the center, indicating removal from an album where the cards were intended to be glued. An uncommon card of the "Georgia Peach" from this unique set.
