That piece is awesome.

Also, there are no American produced cards of Negro Leaguers that I know of. Ryan has mentioned to me some trade cards but I've never seen one and so can't really elaborate on it. Ryan, you out there? Also, cardpricer.com lists some team issued KC Monarchs cards or photos, but I have no idea if they really exist or not and, if they do, I don't know what they look like. The closest thing to an American card I can think of is a 46-47 Felices card of Don Newcombe. Yeah, it's a Cuban issue, but the image of Newcombe features him in his Newark Eagles uniform. So, really, no American issued cards of Negro Leaguers which, in a way, is fitting and sad. These guys remain in the shadows even today.
