One of the toughest and most desirable issues of the 1940’s, cards from the 1948-49 El Indio issue rarely surface for sale. This one features Negro League star and Major League Rookie of the Year for 1950, Sam Jethroe.
The card is in poor condition as most El Indio cards are, with paper loss to the reverse which is also terribly off-center. However, condition is almost irrelevant for this issue due to its scarcity and the fact that most cards surface in equally poor condition.
