1932 Doble Aguila #273. This is a very interesting card. The player named on the card is Palacios, a player for the Cincinati team that is seen running to first base. What's interesting is the Concordia player playing first base. Martin Dihigo was on this Concordia team. The few box scores I have for this Concordia team have Dihigo pitching, but it's possible he played first base when he wasn't pitching. I can tell you that I have owned or seen hundreds of photos of Dihigo, and the body type of the first baseman on this card is EXACTLY Dihigo's body type, and I'm not aware of any other player on that team with that body type. Unfortunately there is no way to definitively say that player is Dihigo, so this card will remain a card of "Palacios," but I'm fairly certain 

 

The card is graded a 4.5 by SGC. Of the 45 total examples SGC has graded from this set, only one card has graded higher than this one, and that card is graded a 5. There is one other 4.5 in addition to this one.
