1945-46 Caramelo Deportivo #66 Luis Tiant PSA 2 with none graded higher by PSA. The back of the card mentions Tiant as a veteran pitcher for 15 seasons with the New York Cubans. Tiant is the father of MLB star Luis Tiant Jr. Luis Tiant Sr. was a Cuban left handed pitcher who starred in both the Negro Leagues and Cuban professional baseball during the 30s and 40s. Tiant pitched for several prominent teams, including the New York Cubans, where he was a key arm during their championship success in the Negro National League.

The cards in the two Caramelo Deportivo sets produced in Cuba for the 1945-46 and 1946-47 baseball seasons measure approximately 1 7/8" by 2 5/8". They are paper thin and were designed to be pasted into albums. They were distributed in packages of caramels and are often found with corresponding staining, similar to 1914 Cracker Jack cards in the United States. 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.” The 1946-47 cards have a semi-glossy front and are on a higher quality, lighter card stock which makes them less fragile than the 1945-46 cards, but more susceptible to creasing.
