Gilbert,

Great point about those who did play in the Majors. In the late 1940's and early 1950's a number of one-time Negro Leaguers played in the Majors. Many have American cards that can be picked up inexpensively.

Here's a few that, in my opinion, don't get credit for how good their non-Major League careers were:

Dan Bankhead
Joe Black
Buster Clarkson
Luke Easter
Monte Irvin
Luis "Canena" Marquez
Minnie Minoso
Pat Scantlebury
Bob Thurman
Quincy Trouppe
Artie Wilson

I don't think all of those players have American cards, but most of them do. There are plenty of others that could be added to that list.
