Negro League Game Used & Autographs

[gonefishin]

In preparation for the "Big" game on Thursday between the Giants and Cardinals at Rickwood Field in throwbacks, I thought it would be appropriate to celebrate the occasion by showcasing some game used, autographs, pennants, etc. celebrating the occasion. I don't have a lot, but I have a few items including the 36x24 litho pictured signed by 210 former players. Please enjoy the photo and let's see what fantastic items are out there in private collections.

Nice.

Impressive!

Finding someone who can post any game-used memorabilia from the Negro Leagues might be a big "ask". Not sure if anyone here can/will, but would sure love to see it!

Having issues uploading the pictures, but I have Dick "Cannonball" Redding's 1929 contract with the Brooklyn Royal Giants.

Beyond that, I have some Puerto Rico contracts as well including Willard Brown, Perucho Cepeda and Larry Doby.

That's great Jeff! I would really like to see them if you can get the pics uploaded. I had some trouble uploading and it was because the file was to too big, I had to resize to a less quality photo, around 60% and it worked. Give it a shot.

210 READABLE signatures it looks like...

Can't figure out why the Redding's are not working, but found I have the back page of a Perucho Cepeda contract saved on my computer and that loaded, so here it is.

That contract is amazing! I've been to Puerto Rico on numerous occasions and really love the island and people.
