Default Carmelo Deportivo

Any chance anyone ha gone through the sets to identify the players by US team, where applicable? Just kind of curious how many and which Negro League players are in the 1945-46 and 1946-47 sets.

I don't know the answer, but I'd like to know. For some time, I've been searching for minor league cards from the 1950s of guys who played in Negro Leagues. Mothers Cookies and Remar Bread have some good ones. Here is my one and only Carmelo Deportivo, and the player definitely made it to the majors. I got the card from a major dealer who didn't realize Minnie's first name is Orestes.

Here's a HOFer from the set:



International Boxing Hall of Fame class of 2007. Bio:

"Born Carlos Conde in 1908. Conde began his career in sports as an announcer for Cuban radio in 1929 and developed a strong following at CMQ radio in Havana. He also wrote sports news stories for a variety of Cuban daily papers including Diario Nacional, El Crisol and Diaro de la Marina.

He soon ventured into boxing promotions and operated shows at the Palacio de Deportes and Ciudad Deportiva. Conde's involvement in the sweet science expanded and he soon managed a stable of top boxers. After relocating to Miami following Castro's rise to power, he famously guided the careers of Cuban born, Mexico-based Hall of Fame champions Ultiminio (Sugar) Ramos (featherweight) and Jose (Mantequilla) Napoles (welterweight).

In the mid-1970s, Conde returned to broadcasting and worked as a sportscaster at the Spanish language WFAB and also wrote a newspaper column titled Sports Cocktail."

Thank you Brian and everyone! I managed to pick up four cards and am pretty pleased. Got Raul Navarro (1945-1946), Henry Kimbo (1946-1947), and two places that played exclusively in the Cuban League.

I recall reading a book when I was a child and one of the characters was shown some Negro League cards, and I remember thinking how cool it would be to have one. Glad to now have a couple to look at and eventually show to my kids/teach my kids about.

This site continues to deliver the goods...I was specifically searching for this information on Google and a link to this post showed up.

Actually, due to some additional research, I have a card to ADD to the Negro League list.

I believe that Pedro Medina (card 50) is actually a card of Negro League player Lázaro Medina. Not sure if he went by both Pedro and Lázaro?

According to the complete list of players linked from this site: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...seball_players Pedro Medina pitched for the Cuban Stars in 1906 and 1907....but his picture looks nothing like the Pedro Medina on card 50.

However, Lázaro Medina reportedly pitched for the Cincinnati Clowns in 1944 and 1945. Lázaro's picture looks like the guy on card 50 and the back of Medina's card literally says that Pedro "Played in 1945 in the United States with the Cincinatti Clowns". I feel like that is sufficient evidence

Default El Profesor: Ramon Bragana

Ramón "El Profesor" Bragaña was a Cuban baseball pitcher and outfielder in the Negro leagues and the Mexican League. 15 hits and 1 home run in 1 MLB season. He played professionally from 1928 to 1955, mostly with the Cuban Stars (East) (1928–1930), the Azules de Veracruz (1940–1951), and the Águila de Veracruz (1955). He was elected to the Cuban Baseball Hall of Fame in 1959, and the Salón de la Fama del Beisbol Profesional de México in 1964.

Baseball Reference biographical info includes the following: Ramón Bragaña was one of the greatest Cuban pitchers of the 1940s, taking over the title from Dolf Luque, but he was too dark-skinned to get a shot in Major League Baseball. The other candidate for the top Cuban hurler of the era was Martin Dihigo. Bragaña began playing in Cuba's winter league in 1929 and in the summer in the Negro Leagues at about the same time. In '30, he was 5-3 in his first regular playing time. That winter, Bragaña lost a 2-1 pitching duel to Carl Hubbell in Cuba; Bill Terry was 4 for 4 off of Bragana, who allowed 11 hits, but no unearned runs.

In 1937, Bragaña joined many other Negro Leaguers in playing in the Dominican Republic, lured by the money offered by dictator Rafael Trujillo. That winter he again faced some major-leaguers, when the New York Giants came to Cuba. Bragaña won game 3 in Havana by a 6-1 score. Terry said "Ramon Bragaña is just about as great a pitcher as I ever saw. He had speed, a wonderful assortment of curves, and control. Didn't pass a man." Bragaña pitched a 1-1 tie in game 6, lasting 12 innings; in 21 innings against New York Bragaña had allowed 2 runs and 10 hits. Bragana drove in the only run for the Cuban team that game. Terry said that if Bragana were lighter-skinned, he would have signed him for the Giants.

This set has piqued my interest recently. Interesting mix of Negro League players, Cuban league players, Mexico league players, and American major/minor league players. I picked up this lot of 1945-46 cards on Ebay as a starter lot, and they are pretty cool (and literally paper thin). I've further researched the set and learned about the album, the hard to find last card (collectors had to assemble 99 cards in the album and then they could receive the final card as a premium), and various other facts. The cards are definitely scarce, but overall not crazy expensive (except for the hall of famers, Minnoso, Dandridge, etc.).

Cool set. But I can't decide if I should go "all in" and start chasing it or not. Anyone else currently trying to complete this set?

Haha...thanks for the feedback.

The only problem is that you all won't get much enjoyment out of watching me build it because I am a V E R Y S L O W set builder. I'm coming up on five years of my 1952 Bowman set build, and those cards are EASY to find. My 1935 Goudey set is coming up on four years, and I'm only 30% done. And my W517 set only gets a new card added about every 6 months.

At those rates, this difficult Caramelo Deportivo set might take me about 50 years

I've got 95 of the 100 cards as well as the album. The only ones I'm missing are Ray Dandridge, Raymond Brown, Martin Dihigo and, obviously the Napoleon Rayes.

I haven't decided if or when I'll work on getting the three that would complete the set at 99. Those prices are sky high right now.

Oh, that's awesome!

You didn't mention Minoso...so that must mean you have that one. Hopefully you picked it up PRIOR to his HOF induction, because that card is also REALLY expensive now.

As for the Napoleon Reyes, I've seen pictures of the card, but never actually seen one for sale.

I think in the thread about Cuban cards on the Main page, someone mentioned there are different versions of the Reyes out there, some with text on the front, some without. Talk about scarce!

#18 Lazaro Salazar, Negro Leagues on and off 1930-1936, Cuban, Mexican, and Venezuelan Baseball HOF
#33 Julio Rojo, Negro Leagues on and off 1916-1936
#34 Heberto Blanco, New York Cubans 1941-42
#35 Pedro Formental, Memphis Red Sox 1947, 1949, Caribbean Baseball HOF
#37 Carlos Blanco, New York Cubans 1941
#39 Rogelio "Ice Cream" Linares, New York Cubans 1940, 1943-1946
#43 Manuel "Cocaina" Garcia, Cuban stars East, Cuban stars West, New York Cubans
#44 Alberto Hernandez (Sagua), New York Cubans 1941

#62 Silvio Garcia, New York Cubans
#63 Carlos Colas, New York Cubans 1940-41, Memphis Red Sox 1949-52
#65 Martin Dihigo, Negro Leagues periodically from 1923-1945, MLB Hall of Famer

You overlooked card #66 of Luis Tiant, Sr., who played nearly two decades for the Cuban Stars and New York Cubans.
