1945-46 Caramelo Deportivo Cuban card of brand new HOFer Orestes "Minnie" Miñoso. His TRUE rookie card! Graded a 4 by SGC. This is the highest graded example of this card, and in fact, there no cards of any player graded higher than this example by PSA or SGC. The only card to grade higher (a 5) is the Havana team banner by PSA. Here's a look at the graded population of this card:

PSA has graded 19 examples. The highest is a three (one total). Next highest is a two (one total). And then 17 that graded lower than 2.

SGC has graded 30 total. The highest is a 4 (this one). Next is three that graded a 3. Then one that graded a 2.5. Then eight that graded a 2. Then 17 lower than 2.

The total population of 1945-46 Caramelo Deportivo cards that PSA has graded, as of today, is 793. Of that, there is only one card graded higher (a 5) and 8 cards that graded a 4. Then 784 cards that graded lower than a 4.

The total population of 1945-46 Caramelo Deportivo cards that SGC has graded, as of today, is 516. There are zero cards that have graded higher than this one. There are two other cards graded a 4. Next is one 3.5. Then 512 cards graded lower than a 3.5.

So of the total population graded by SGC or PSA, there are 1,309 cards that have been graded from the set. Only one card graded higher. And only 10 other cards graded a 4 like this one.

I'll probably leave this here for about a week. If there's no interest I'll gladly keep in my personal collection.
