Posted By: <b>Nate</b><p>Does anyone know of any cards of Dihigo printed before his 1945-46 Caramelo Deportivo? I've been led to believe that this is is "rookie," but are there any other earlier examples?

Posted By: <b>Ryan Christoff</b><p>The 1945-46 Felices (a.k.a. "Caramelo Deportivo") is generally considered his "rookie" card, although he'd already been playing baseball professionally for over 20 years. <br /><br />His actual rookie card is in the 1927-28 Mallorquina set. <br /><br />-Ryan

Posted By: <b>Andy Baran</b><p>This is a 1932 Dihigo card from a Venezuelan set. There are several other Dihigo's in the set. It's the earliest Dihigo card that is bigger than a postage stamp.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1118928912.JPG"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1118928945.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Andy Baran</b><p>I don't know much about the set. What I do know is that it consists entirely of "in action" cards, it was issued over a number of years (1932-1935), it is very rare, and there are a number of Dihigo cards in the set.
