1946 Jack Johnson Propagandas Montiel #6 PSA 1

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 has been graded POOR 1 by PSA, with a fantastic image of Jack Johnson in a classic fighting pose. A few obvious blemishes common to this issue account for the grade, including pinholes along the top edge and signs of removal from an album in the form of a missing corner and adhesive residue on reverse. A desirable card of the "Galveston Giant" despite any condition-related issues.
