Max,

That's not a card. It's a copy of an image from a booklet produced during the 1948-49 season by Trinidad y Hno. They did one for each of the 4 teams. Each booklet contains a colorized image of a player on each page.

The Almendares team booklet, which is the one this Irvin is from, also has Chuck Connors in it. They are on a thin paper stock. Your scan is either a page torn out of the booklet, or a photocopy of it.

Currently, Monte Irvin only has one known Cuban card. It's from the 1948-49 El Indio issue.

Hope that helps,

-Ryan
