1949-50 Toleteros of Negro Leaguer Luke Easter. Graded a 1 by SGC. Before his MLB debut, Easter had already established himself as a top international performer. In the Puerto Rican Winter League he played for Mayagüez and was a batting champion-level force, reportedly hitting around .400 while leading the league in extra-base hits and runs scored. His performance helped cement his reputation across the Caribbean as one of the most dangerous power hitters of the era.

The second Toleteros set 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.
