1946-47 Caramelo Deportivo lot (3) of Negro Leaguers Claro Duany, Terry McDuffie, and Pedro Formental.

Condition note: These cards exhibit a bright white stock and very light printing on the back indicating they were cut from sheets of cards that were not intended for distribution. Grading companies should label them as altered or trimmed, but PSA especially has given many of these uncirculated cards number grades.

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.
