Item Description
This card is from third and final Toleteros set which is the most sought after and desirable of the three for a variety of reasons, first and a foremost being the inclusion of the legendary and historic Josh Gibson card. For this year, two different sets were issued. The first set is 180 unnumbered player cards while the second set is 178 numbered "In Action" cards. As with the other years, an album was also issued. Cards are 1.75x2.5" on thin card stock w/full color photos fronts and black backs. This card is one of the keys in the set. Title is "El Hombre Ese" and image is of Willard Brown being congratulated by his Santurce team mates after hitting a home run. Great card for this Negro League legend who also played briefly in the Major Leagues for the St. Louis Browns and was inducted into the National Baseball HOF in 2006.
