I have a very modest collection of Negro League memorabilia, many autographs I personally received while interviewing the older players back in the 1980's and early '90's.
But I also have a few original scorecards, which is a particular interest of mine. The few that I have managed to get were mislabeled or the sellers had no clue what the teams were and just wanted to get rid of them. I take a chance and buy them, hoping for the best and most of the time my hunches are correct. Other wise I would not have wanted to spend the huge premium these items usually get. They are rare as heck and I'm guessing the few surviving ones out there are already in the hands of advanced collectors.
