The History behind the cards is what's most fun.

I was enjoying a recent thread about the 1888 Syracuse Stars Cabinet. I looked up some information about the card. I then found more information about Moses Fleetwood Walker. Surprisingly the information at the Negro Leagues Hall of fame was very generic. I really enjoyed the article on jockbios.com
Very in-depth and very sympathetic to his life. Heres e few links I found on the subject hope someone else enjoys the information as much as I have. I try to find as much information about each player when I obtain there card as possible. I think I may put together a bio and stats on each player in a scrap book with each card or something. I am still working on ideas for that but I think this is what collecting vintage cards is all about preserving history along the way.
