Card fronts feature bw photos while backs have bios along w/advertising for Cuban stores. An album was issued in conjunction w/this card set, thus accounting for many examples found in lesser condition due to paper loss from album removal.

As a manager, Lopez divided his time between Cleveland and Chicago (AL). He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1977.
