1945-46 Caramelo Deportivo Marsans and receipt
This is close enough to pre-war that I will use my moderating priviledges to post on the main board. I don't post too many off topics, relative to other posts, so this can be one OT if anyone has an issue with it.
One of the better known Cuban issues is the 100 card set, Caramelo Deportivo. (Sporting Caramels). They covered the 1945-46 Cuban winter league season and include many future major leaguers and stars of the Negro Leagues. They were made to be put into an album, the fronts have a card number. The backs have the player's name and a few biographical and career details. Along with this Armando Marsans card came a receipt from the Asociacion Nacional de Peloteros Profesionales de Cuba. This receipt was given to Marsans after he paid $3 pesos for his monthly membership fee that all players were required to pay. If anyone has any Cuban cards, or things relating to Cuban cards, show them if you would like to. We don't have too many discussions about Cuban issues, players and the league, but they were/are(?) certainly an important part of the game. regards

I've handled several Caramelo de Portivo sets and I think they are pretty neat, considering they were made on poor paper stock and are really thin and fragile. Even the album is not much higher quality than newspaper stock, and given the heat and humidity in Cuba, high grade sets are hard to come by. Many near complete sets of 99 or fewer show up, but they are rarely complete due to card #73 Napoleon Reyes, which was severely short printed. That one may be worth the other 99 cards combined. I also like the team insignia cards, as they are the only ones that are in color (I assume they were made that way although they could have been hand colored after the fact).

Neat paperwork; not something you see every day. I love the Cuban issues in boxing. Here is a 1920s Romeo y Julieta Rocky Kansas (just elected to the International Boxing Hall of Fame) and a 1947 Propagandas Montiel Joe Louis:

A handfull of Cuban HOFer cards. Actually, this brings up a question: In what category of our BST section would people likely offer Cuban (and other Latin American) cards? Tobacco? 1920's - 1940's? I've never known where to focus my search. Thanks.

BST section
Which BST section for Cuban material? You can always go by the dates if nothing else. Since this one, Caramelo Deportivo, was a 1940's caramel issue it could go in the 20's-40's section or the E card section. I classify them as "R-Unc" on my website for "Recent Candy and Gum- Unclassified". Hope this helps...

A couple of good books for you Cuban Baseball Fans.
Smoke: The Romance And Lore Of Cuban Baseball and The Pride of Havana: A History of Cuban Baseball I think that the most significant thing about your receipt is that it is signed by Tomas De La Cruz and Salvador Hernandez, both extremely popular Cuban players. Scott
