1946-47 Propagandas Montiel help..
 

I am interested in obtaining some cards from this set for my Cardinals collection but I really don't know anything about it. I was hoping someone here would have some knowledge/info. to share on the set.

My main concern is reprints or fakes. Are there many known reprints/fakes/counterfeits of these cards? If so what should I look out for?

Are theses cards listed in any of the price guides?

Last but not least I was wondering if anyone knew what Cardinals appear in the set? My usual source for team-set checklist does not contain this set.

Thanks,
Scott

Yes, these are listed in the Standard Catalog.
VERY tough to find in high grade condition (my Joe DiMaggio is SGC 3.5, which I think is the highest graded). Most of them were meant to pasted into some kind of album, which means a lot of the backs are damaged when they took them out. They come with yellow or orange borders (I personally have seen more yellows than oranges, so I am not sure if orange is more rare maybe?), and the paper stock is kind of thin.

I have never seen a fake out there, but I am sure wherever there is a high dollar card, there is someone who will make a counterfeit.

Scott:

Many consider the Stan Musial card in this set to be a rookie card, it is one of the key cards to the set. There are probably other Cardinals, I don't have a checklist handy right now though.
