1946-47 Caramelo Deportivo card #166 of Negro Leaguer and Cuban Baseball HOF José María Fernández graded SGC 2. Fernández was a true baseball lifer and Cuban HOF who deserves a spot in Cooperstown for his overall contributions to baseball both as a player and as a manager.

The cards in the Caramelo Deportivo issues measure approximately 1 7/8" by 2 5/8". They are paper thin and were designed to be pasted into albums. Most cards in circulation have been removed from their albums, and back damage is common. Fronts feature a black-and-white photo surrounded by a thin black border and creamy white margins, with the card number in a small circle at the bottom. Backs list the player's name, brief bio, and a promotional advertisement for the issuer, "Felices.” 1946-47 Deportivos are on slightly thicker stock than 45-46, and feature a slightly glossy surface. Note that many “high grade” 46-47 Deportivos are actually more recently hand-cut from defective uncut sheets. Those cards can be identified by the faint printing on the back and bright white color. This particular card is original and circulated with dark printing on the back and honest wear.
