Default Mantle cards

Posted By: Hagar Henderson

Like I said, talent and a player's card value are not necessarily correlated.

Someone earlier mentioned race as a factor. I wasn't around in that era but of course I've read plenty in history books about civil rights and racism. Can someone tell me about what year race stopped being a factor as far as fans watching a ball game? Jackie Robinson came into the league in what, 1947? How long did it take the black players to win over the fans?
