Cards of Negro League Hall of Famers

[dougscats]

I collect cards of Hall-of-Famers that were issued during their playing careers. I'm pretty sure there are a few such authentic cards of Negro League Hall-of-Famers from Cuban and, I think, Mexican Leagues, and probably from other sources as well. Can anyone identify what hall-of-famers/cards exist?

Perhaps this question has been answered before. If so, if you could tell me how to go about researching it, I'd appreciate the guidance. I'm still learning.

Thanks in advance.

I just sold the Ray Dandridge from this set.

Still have the Ray Brown.

Never have had the Martin Dihigo.

Lots of the Cuban issues over the years have had the Negro League players in them. They are plenty tough to find, but in my opinion should hold more value than they do at present. they are pretty special in terms of their historical significance...at least in my eyes.

The Puerto Rican Toleteros cards have quite a few HOFers too.

A great resource for you is the checklists at VintageCardPrices.com; you can search by player and it will pull up a checklist of all the cards of that player. Unfortunately, many Negro League HOFers had no cards issued during their playing careers. Using VCP.com for searching checklists is free.

Two websites for you--Cubanbaseballcards.com and Cubanball.com.
They will have all your answers.

Good luck on your collection!!!

Did anyone create a list that they can add to the thread?

You can use the old cardboard hall of fame rookie card page as a reference. If you click on the players name, it will generally list their first 5 cards.

Thanks. I thought there was a list like that somewhere but I couldn't remember.

Here's a Clemente postcard from '52-'53 winter league ball, but it's a modern fantasy piece..........
