Question of the day #2 Negro Leagues

[Archive]

Posted By: Thomas

Hello,

...and for my next inquiry...Does anyone know anything about any vintage sets that features Negro League players? I have seen some mention here and there about cards issued in Cuba during the 40's. But I really can't find any solid information on these or any cards that have Negro League players on it. I have some of the modern sets but I think it would be really fascinating to find period issued cards. Any help would really be appreciated...

Thanks,
Thomas

Thomas,

Here is a link to my website dedicated to Cuban and Negro League cards: http://www.geocities.com/brass_halo/CubanBaseball.html


There are also many sets from the 1940's that contain Negro Leaguers, but I'm mostly interested in the sets from the 1920's and earlier that feature some of the best players of any skin color ever to play the game. Oscar Charleston, Pop Lloyd, Cristobal Torriente, Jose Mendez, Oliver Marcelle, etc. E-mail me any time if you have any questions. My e-mail address is ourfirstvacation@yahoo.com.

Hope this helps,

-Ryan
