All are good. I might mention that you can pick up Monte Irvin cards for very very cheap still. You can find his 52 Topps for less than $10 still. Irvin was a man caught between times. Often his career is looked at as a National Leaguer and not just a Negro Leaguer. His career is like Satchell Paige's however. He had a great career in the Negro Leagues and was older in the Major Leagues (he was a 30 year old rookie), yet still had a very good Major League career. He was elected via the Negro League ballot.
