Description: |
One of the better known of Cuba's baseball card issues
is the 100-card set issued by Caramelo Deportivo (Sporting Caramels)
covering the 1945-46 Cuban winter league season. Printed in black-and-white
on very thin 1-7/8" X 2-5/8" paper, the cards were intended to be
pasted into an album issued for the purpose. Fronts have a card
number, but no player identification; backs have the player's name,
a few biographical and career details and an ad for the issuer,
in as many as three different configurations. Many former and future
Major Leaguers and stars of the U.S. Negro Leagues will be found
on this checklist; sometimes providing the only cards issued contemporary
with their playing careers. |
