Show Your International Cards!

Let's see some vintage cards from other countries.

Some of my favorite cards are international issues.

1949-50 Toleteros of Perucho Cepeda. He was Orlando Cepeda's father and widely seen as one of the greatest international players of all time. I am especially fond of him for his stance on the Negro Leagues. Though invited to play many times, he refused to play in America as long as they segregated their players. There probably isn't a more fitting a time to induct him into the HOF than now:



Here is another Toleteros of Francisco Coimbre. Perhaps there was no better hitter in Puerto Rico than Coimbre. Satchel Paige faced Ted Williams and a host of other immortal hitters in his time. He said none of them were tougher than Coimbre:



Last is what I assume is an extremely rare Puerto Rican winter league issue. This card pre-dates Matty Alou's American career. I have no idea who issued it or the year of issue:

You are supposed to show one when you start a thread. It's an unwritten doctrine.

Here's another Dandridge. One of the few who might have been better at 3B than Brooks Robinson. Excelled at the plate as well in the Negro leagues, Mexican League, and Triple-A baseball after integration. Member of the MLB Hall of Fame since 1987.
