Default Puerto Rico Deportivio- A Unknown Gem

As a long time collector of Negro and Latin baseball memorabilia I thought I had a pretty good idea of what was out there. I have a large collection of Cuban and Mexican publications. Many are of very low quality on very cheap paper ( though I still love them). Recently I discovered the Puerto Rico Deportivio magazine which was published beginning in the 1940's. Printed on glossy paper with great photos the pub has articles and images of negro league stars rarely seen. Below are a number of images from a couple of issues- note Willard Brown, Luke Easter, a very young Jim Gilliam and Pedro Cepeda. Would love to see if any one else had any copies
