Can anybody guess the name of another Negro League HOF'er who was also in the militarty around the same time frame (not sure if there may be multiple answers to this question)?

Great item! Congratulations.

Andy Cooper, I believe. Heavy Johnson also played with Charleston on the 24th Infantry squad.

I thought Johnson played with the 25th and after Oscar Charleston left.

I think they played together, but may be mistaken. Bullet Rogan also played ball in the military.

Congratulations Ryan

The entire collection of postcards depicting African Americans is the largest ever assembled, and has garnered quite a bit of national publicity. Congratulations to Ryan on an amazing pick up.

Congrats Ryan! My first thought when I read Matt's post this morning was "I wonder if Ryan won it?"

Joe Rogan was with the 25th during some of the same years Charleston was with the 24th.
