Earliest Collectibles of "Key" Negro League Baseball Figures

[bcbgcbrcb]

If there is enough demand for it on this Board, I will post the above list consistsing of nearly 400 Negro League Baseball Greats. I already have all of the info so it would be easy enough for me to provide.

Negro Leaguers will be in alphabetical order by last name, it will take a while so I will begin with the "A"s and move along from there. I hope that everyone enjoys it.........

[Jeffrompa]

I would personally be interested to see anything from the Hilldale Baseball Club from Darby Pennsylvania ( near where I grew up ) there are about 6 NLBM Hall of Famers from that team .

[mannybb24]

Please post it Phil, thanks for your hard work!

Steve

[h2oya311]

Yup - I'm interested

[bcbgcbrcb]

Just picked this one up, a 1925 Hilldale team photo with 3 Hall of Famers, Judy Johnson, Biz Mackey & Louis Santop................

[tlwise12]

Please provide that list phil

Yus, please.

And amazing photo, Phil!

[bcbgcbrcb]

Thanks for the support, guys. I will begin compiling the list within my initial post for this thread.

[ramram]

Would love to see it!

Great Hilldale image.

Rob M.

[ZernialFan]

Phil,
Would love to see the list also. Great Hilldale Team Pic. I was born in Darby, PA, but was not aware the Hilldale team was from Darby.

Charlie

[oldirtyfishkilla]

I would also be interested in seeing this list!

[bcbgcbrcb]

Just posted the first group with last names beginning with "A".

[HOFautosChris]

Would love to see the list

[Exhibitman]

Really great stuff, Phil. I'd also be interested to know what was the latest first appearance item for a key NLer.

[bcbgcbrcb]

Thanks, Adam. Not sure if I understand your question correctly but if you mean the earliest collectible of the last of the former Negro League greats, I would have to say Ernie Banks (already listed). He only played two season in the Negro Leagues, 1950 & 1953 but, of course, went on to the HOF career with the Chicago Cubs. You might also mean the earliest collectible that was produced later in that individual's career than anyone else's, I think that might be it?

BTW the first 100 are now listed.

[Jeffrompa]

Thanks for sharing Phil . Thats a great image there is so much local history that really was important to the game .

[bcbgcbrcb]

Just an update, A - D has now been completed.

[Exhibitman]

The most recently issued earliest item. Like some of the 1970s Laughlin cards which I heard were the earliest cards for some of the NLers.

[bcbgcbrcb]

Adam:

My research only included career contemporary collectibles so I don't have the info that you are looking for. The '74 & '78 Laughlin sets do have a bunch of "rookie cards" for many of the Negro Leaguers. Among the HOF'ers are:

Mule Suttles
Smokey Joe Williams
Frank Grant
Sol White
Ben Taylor
Turkey Stearnes
Buck Leonard
Willie Wells
Louis Santop
Bullet Joe Rogan
Rube Foster
Judy Johnson

Other notables "rookie cards" include:

Rap Dixon
Bingo DeMoss
John Beckwith
Jelly Gardner
Dave Malarcher
Spot Poles
Charlie Grant
Dick Redding
Fats Jenkins
Bill Monroe
Dan McClellan
Newt Allen
Joe Greene
Frank Wickware
Chappie Johnson
John Donaldson

[bcbgcbrcb]

The first 200 Negro Leaguers are now available, just about halfway through the list.........

[bcbgcbrcb]

300 are now listed (A - Q), a little over 100 more to go...........

[Jeffrompa]

Thanks for the lists Phil . I noticed that a lot of the items are Postcards . Are most of the RPPC's ?

Thanks , Jeff

[bcbgcbrcb]

Jeff:

Yes, almost all of the postcards are RPPC's.

[bcbgcbrcb]

Finally, the list is now complete!

Just wondering if anyone knows of any updates that should be made to my list?

Hello, this is just an amazing list.
Does anyone have or know of anyone that is/would sell any of these cards?

Hope this isn't redundant, but for those who've not seen it, this is an incredible watch. MLB Network is doing a series called "Carded". It focuses on Baseball Cards (both vintage and modern).

This particular episode features the unparalleled collection of Al Jurgela. Well worth the watch for anyone interested in Negro League cards, or just rare baseball artifacts in general. The Negro League segment begins around the 5:45 mark, and is nothing short of jaw-dropping...

Thank you for posting/bumping - this has the makings of a key/important thread. I wish I had something more than encouragement to add.

BTW- if anyone has a 1928 Gibson or a 1929 Paige, I will make it worthwhile to sell/trade…

The ‘28 Gibson and ‘29 Paige would be quite a challenge. The Gibson came up for auction several years ago, I was an underbidder but didn’t have the funds to go any higher or I would have. I have never seen the Paige offered publicly.

Thanks for reviving this old thread, I totally forgot that I published this list back in 2013.

Damn Philly, I didn't know you had that Marsans. That is sweet brother!

I would also like to add that MLB The Show (a video game) has added a Negro League special franchise that allows you to play many of the greats. Between the addition of stats and now this I think that only grows this section of the hobby.

Millions of young adults/kids are going to learn a ton more about these greats.

It's a shame about Gibson. Was born too late to be included in any of the Cuban card sets, born too early, to successfully break into the majors, and died at way too young of an age.

One could only imagine what guys like himself, and Charleston would've done in the majors.

That is a great looking card.
