Item Description
For the second consecutive season, a Cuban League baseball card set was produced to promote Caramelo Deportivo. This second series expanded the number of cards included to 185 w/each measuring 1-7/8x2.5". Card fronts feature a bw photo. Card backs identify the player and supply their Cuban League affiliation. In addition, a candy ad appears on back bottom. Thin paper stock as well as the issuance of an album for these to be mounted in account for the prominently lesser conditions whenever these rarities are found. Dihigo is widely considered to be the greatest two-way ballplayer in Negro/Cuban League baseball history, excelling both on the mound as well as at the plate and in the field. Elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1977. Wear to back as once mounted, card front has nice eye-appeal w/strong image. PSA pop report indicates that there are only two other examples at this level w/just twelve others graded higher. Richard Merkin Collection.
