Why not more love for Caramelo Deportivo

I like this set but haven't really focused on it lately. I have 31 PSA graded and that is the 2nd finest, which shows you have little interest there is in this set.

It probably has something to do with limited availability since it's similar to the Venezuela Topps sets I collect. I think they are fun but maybe not for someone who prefers the traditional avenues for set building.

When/if Minoso ever gets elected to the Hall that should boost the popularity of the set a bit. But most of the people here who collect more obscure sets are focused on pre-war. And most of people who collect 1940s sets are interested mainly in Play Ball, Bowman, and Leaf. Personally I prefer the Cuban sets as the American ones are just a bit too common to be interesting, but I don't expect that to become a widespread preference any time soon.

My one and only

I was the underbidder on the near set which sold via Heritage the other night. I thought it was a very reasonable price (95 cards sold for $2,640 all-in, so under $30 per card with many stars).

I had to use my available money on another item so I couldn't bid higher at this time, but I do think the buyer got a decent deal on this lot which will be tough to replicate!

The heritage lot actually is what got me thinking about this issue
I actually thought that was a very strong price considering no Brown
Or Dihigo. I wondered if this was a sign of stronger prices or an outlier
