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.

Crespo played only two seasons in the U.S. Negro Leagues, with the New York Cubans in 1940 and once again in 1946. The remainder of Crespo's summers were played in Mexico while he made numerous winter ball trips to his native Cuba. Alejandro compiled a lifetime batting average of .277 playing primarily for Cienfuegos in Cuba. Crespo was also a consistent .300+ hitter during his time in the Mexican League.
