Was going to start another thread,
but there is still some room on this one. Any bros from Vilnius on the Board may be interested in this listing.

Not Jewish but thought the title was a little inflammatory. As for 'Negro League', we're talking about the LEAGUE, not a specific person as such. Not an apples to apples comparison. And the cards in the offending auction are overpriced by about 800%

Hi, I'm the OP, I did not mean any offense in the least. My best friend is Jewish, he actually attended Catholic school with me as a kid. Talk about a conundrum for him, but his parents wanted to send him to the best school around.
Anyhow just wanted people to see the Ebay item and stir the pot a lil' on here, I love good threads. Hello Leon.

Hebrews is one that was in vogue in the twenties. Some boxing Exhibit cards from the era identify boxers by nationalities and often list "Hebrew-American" as the nationality. Leo Lomski of Washington ended up a Polish-Hebrew-American on his card. No one got a Catholic-American or Protestant-American on the card, though; only Jewish fighters had their religion listed as a nationality.

If that's a Benny Kauff strip card at top-left . . . he was not Jewish.
Or if he was, he publicly refuted that fact.

Like Bob said, Kauff wasn't Jewish, but many people thought he was, including Henry Ford who used him in a collection of his anti-Semitic essays as an example of dishonest sportsman like Arnold Rothstein in the wake of the Black Sox scandal.

Here's a baseball card I was given recently of talk-radio host Dennis Prager - who is Jewish and discusses his faith openly on his show. I can recall listening to him discuss this very subject of the word "Jew" and he does not at all regard the word itself offensive, but a normal way of describing a person who is Jewish. In fact he goes on national speaking engagements where the theme of the discussion is "Ask a Jew".
As for the card, it's rather clever in that is was intentionally printed to give it a "beater" look.
