Negro League cards never produced or didn't survive
It seem to be accepted that there was never a set of contemporary negro league cards produced in the U.S. But the more I think about it, the more I think that there had to be something produced. By the 1940's Negro league ball was a 2 million dollar per year enterprise. Look at the quality of the Negro League year books put on in 45 and 46, and the program for the 46 East-West Game. There was national coverage in black papers like the Chicago Defender and the Pittsburgh Courier. There were large fan bases in major cities like Chicago and DC. Yet with all of this there was not even a single team issue (I am not counting the postcards that the Indy Clown produced as those mostly pictured the "performers" not the players) was put out. it just doesn't seem to make sense. Is there a set out there that still need to be discovered?
I would love to hear thoughts, rumors and ideas Jason |
