Default 1st Graded Card of Negro League HOFer

Posted By: Ryan Christoff

Hal,

I think it is only a matter of time before PSA starts grading Cuban cards. I would think they would start with the Caramelo Deportivo "Felices" issues of the 1940's. They are somewhat common (as far as Cuban cards go) and also important as they contain cards of HOFers Martin Dihigo and Ray Dandridge. The cards are paper thin and almost always have glue staining on the back from being pasted in the album that they were meant to be pasted into. If PSA can grade Cracker Jacks, they should have no problem with Caramelo Deportivo "Felices". As far as the stuff from the 20's and earlier (the really good stuff), that's another story.
