The 1946-47 Propagandas Montiel series consists of 180 cards measuring 2-1/8x3-1/8" and depicting athletes, including baseball players and boxers. Card fronts feature bw photos while backs have bios along w/advertising for Cuban stores. An album was issued in conjunction w/this card set, thus accounting for many examples found in lesser condition due to paper loss from album removal. Ted Williams, nicknamed "The Splendid Splinter", was a star outfielder for the Boston Red Sox for two decades, spanning the 1940s and 1950s. Widely regarded as the greatest pure hitter in baseball history, Williams was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1966. Not without its flaws, hence the PSA 1, eye-appeal exceeds the assigned grade and image remains strong and distinct. PSA pop report indicates that this is one of only 19 examples graded at this level w/only six others graded higher. A rarity for the Ted Williams collector. Richard Merkin Collection.
