I wanted to know why he was selling his for under $10 if in fact there were 4 prominent Negro League players depicted. Turns out the seller bought the contents of the hotel from the son of one of the former owners. One of the players in the picture is Charlie Roberson who was from Sweetwater, another player was one of the owners’ son from whom he had bought the hotel’s contents. Here is more info about the Stanley Hotel from the seller I contacted. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Baseball-Ne...0AAOSw7spdn3ku |
Thanks, Glyn! Yes, I have seen that seller's listing also, and it makes a lot of sense (interesting story, too). Much more likely, than THREE HOFers being pictured, without any notation typed on the card!! Cool item, just not what some seller's are claiming.
