Museum Project Completed/Negro League to Majors
I finally completed my project today. I started it in 2012 after seeing an exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The exhibit showcased cards from the Burdick collection of Players from the Negro League who made a successful transition to the Majors. I decided to mirror the collection, and collect each card shown in the exhibit.
The last card I needed to complete my project was the 1954 Topps Henry Aaron. Nowadays, it is difficult for me to use eBay or purchase on-line when it comes to high profile cards that are often counterfeited. I was fortunate meeting a dealer earlier this month at the White Plains, NY, County Center Show. I looked at a couple of cards, and we were able to make a deal. My 1954 Topps, Henry Aaron card arrived today.  I now have all 22 cards. I included the museum links below, then scans of the other 21 cards completing the collection. ENJOY!

Very nice mid-grade set of pioneers in the baseball industry. There is no question the MLB and society at large are better for their contributions to the game!

Great idea for a collection. Congratulations on the Hank Aaron and the 1953 Mays has long been on my want list. I think it is one of the most attractive cards Topps ever produce.

The project is just for my collection. I'm always thinking of subjects to work on. I enjoy themes rather than random collecting.
