1949-50 Toleteros of Coco Ferrer. Ferrer was a Puerto Rican shortstop and utility infielder who played in the Negro Leagues, Puerto Rican Winter League, and Caribbean circuits during the 1940s. He made his Negro Leagues debut in 1946 with the Indianapolis Clowns, spending multiple seasons with them (1946–48) and later appearing with the Chicago American Giants in 1951. In the Puerto Rican Winter League, he played extensively with clubs such as Santurce, Ponce, Humacao, and Arecibo, and remained active there from the late 1930s into the early 1950s.

The second Toleteros set in ‘49-50 expanded to 216 cards and retained the game-card concept. Measuring about 1¼" x 2¼", the cards feature black-and-white portrait photography with player names below the image. They were distributed in Puerto Rico and included numerous Negro League and Major League stars.
