Lot 424: Collection of (10) 1949-50 Toleteros Hi #'s Photographic Cards

ITEM DESCRIPTION

 
Reserve: $500.00
Winning Bid:  
Auction Date:6/26/2005 9:00 PM EST

Believe it or not, High #'s from the 1949-50 Toleteros set are even more difficult to find than the standard issue cards. These cards have a very different appearance compared to the lower numbered cards. The high #'s are photographs and are actually on glossy photographic paper. This paper is very thin and extremely delicate therefore these cards are very susceptible to wrinkles, creases and tears. Additionally, the quality of production of the high #'s does not appear to be of the highest standards, these cards are often found extremely off center, miss-cut or fading. To find another grouping of 10 cards in as presentable condition as these, one might have to wait decades. Included are, SGC 40 VG 3 (2 cards) Stan Bread, and Cecyl Kayser. SGC 30 GD 2 Faelo Gonzalez. The ungraded cards are Henry Miller, Marvin Williams, Jim Markland, Faelo Gonzalez, Miguel Payano ( oc left to right,) Earl Naylor (oc top to bottom,) and Angel Hernaiz (miss-cut top to bottom.) The ungraded cards present well but would also probably grade VG at best.
