"Here are my thoughts:
1) Cuban issue that's hard to get in the U.S. or even complete transactions for online due to the Cuban embargo. PayPal has freaked out in the past over vintage Cuban cards and locked people's accounts for months.
2) Cards are generally in poor condition, and were made by a company nobody really has a connection too. At least in the case of Topps Venezuelans, they're cards similar to the U.S. Topps issues that collectors grew up with. And they're kind of boring (black and white, drab pictures).
3) To me, their rarity works against them. People don't think the set is achievable, so people don't try to complete the sets because it's too difficult.
4) Not players they're familiar with."

I guess I am surprised by the players not familiar comments
Again the causal fan wouldn't know many but since when are baseball collectors
Average fans. There are a lot of historically important players on this set
Armando marsans, Adolfo Luque, Miguel Gonzales, Jose Fernandez, Silvio Garcia
Cocania Garcia, Luis Tiant and Pedro Formental and that doesn't even name the hofers or Minoso. These aren't the nameless minor leaguers from the concertina set that everyone raves about

Default 1945-46 Caramelos

maybe because the nap reyes sp.
U cant find one under a couple thousand.
I collect Cuban cards but never found them the most attractive!
Also you can probably get a better deal buying the whole set vs single cards
from personal experience its fun to build the set but cheaper to buy the whole thing made.

I have a couple as a type set and that's enough for me. I have a Minoso once and probably wish I would have kept it, but not so much that I'll go out looking for another one.
