Large and impressive 3.5x5.25" size glossy real photo postcard from series issued by the Cuban sports magazine "Photos" (see next item #1139). Magazine logo appears at bottom right of the card. Set is believed to consist of 72 cards but this is by far the key card in the set and a highly desirable Dihigo card in general. Postcard reverse has trace of aging but is unused. Photo is bold and sharp. One of only a few known, a must have for the Dihigo collector. Dihigo (1906-1971) excelled as a pitcher and second baseman. He began his professional career in the winter of 1922-23 at the age of 16 and had his first summer in US baseball in 1923 as a first baseman for the Negro League's Cuban Stars (East). He played in the Negro Leagues from 1923 through 1936 and again briefly in 1945. Over the course of his career he played all nine positions. He lead the Negro Leagues in home runs in 1926 and 1935. He is the only player inducted into the Cuban, Mexican and National Baseball Hall of Fame. Designated by SGC as being from the "Richard Merkin Collection" and comes with Hake's COA.
