Album Cards

(Domincan Republic)

ca.1957 (type 2)

VERY RARE - These crude cards were probably produced for collector albums. There are a few different sets produced in the 1950's but little is known about them.

The ca.1950 set is blank backed and printed on fragile paper in either blue, red, or green tints. Players in this set are taken from the Dominican and Cuban winter leagues (including Negro Leaguers), and some players from the Major Leagues. The known numbers go up to 292, but only 134 different are known so far. Most of the known cards exist as single known examples.

The ca.1957 cards have been seen in 2 types, both are blank backed. Type 1 are borderless B&W pictures with the players name and team in a white strip at bottom of photo.  Type 2 are sepia in color and have the players name in a small white box at bottom. Checklists of either set are unknown.
