Featured here is an extremely attractive example of HOFer Stan Musial's rookie card from the 1946-47 Propagandas Montiel issue graded GOOD+ 2.5 by PSA. This fascinating set was issued with packs of Propaganda Montiel Caramel in Cuba. Cards included both current and old timer major leaguers, Florida International League players, some Cuban players, some wrestlers and a selection of current and old timer boxers. The Musial rookie is one of the key cards in this ever elusive set from the late 1940's along with the coveted Ruth, Gehrig, and Ted Williams examples. Due to the fact that these cards were intended to be glued into an album, it's very tough to find any examples that are better than VG. This offered example has evaded some of the common issues found in the issue with little to no creasing and wrinkling. The GOOD+ grade could be attributed to softer than ideal corners and some slight off centering left to right. The color and image are immaculate and the reverse is very clean as well. This is an extremely attractive example of Stan Musial from this very rare and fascinating issue that predates his 1948 Bowman card, making this example his "True Rookie" card in many collectors opinions.
