Item Description
9x11.75" album w/24 pages contains near complete set, 166 of 168 cards, all mounted at appropriate spots. Cards are 2-1/8x3-1/8" on thin paper stock with choice colorized photos. Teams represented are: Habana, Almendares, Marianao and Cienfuegos and this is reflected on the front cover art by team pennants. Back cover promotes Habana stadium. Page text includes player bios. First few pages feature cards of broadcasters and umpires, followed by sections for each of the four teams. By far the top card in the set is #103 Ray Dandridge. Other key cards are Minnie Minoso, Joe Black, Miguel Gonzalez, Carlos Pascual, Sandy Amoros, Camilo Pascual, Billy Herman, Donald Zimmer. All of these cards including Dandridge are present. Missing just cards #127 and 161, neither of any consequence. Cards have scattered wear/aging as mounted but for the most part remain clean w/strong images and visually grade VG to Exc. The album has obvious wear/aging w/some moisture staining at lower right corner area, heavy edge wear with small tears. Lower left corner missing a 1x2" triangular piece from the front cover as well as first two pages but just the #5 umpire card is affected by this. Album just Good. A rare near complete album with the key card in the set. Please contact us if more detailed condition information and/or photos are desired. From the Richard Merkin Collection and comes with Hake's COA.
