Pre-1920 black baseball memorabilia doesn't get the recognition it deserves. I'm biased because that's the era I collect, but it's very cool stuff - so much was going on before Foster and the Negro National League kicked off. It's true that the teams were not usually of the calibre of the pro teams of the '30s and '40s, but the greatest players of their generation played on teams like the Lincoln Giants, because they had nowhere else to play. As tough as things were for the pro black leagues and Jackie Robinson in 1947+, imagine what black teams went through barnstorming across the country during the pre-1920 period.
Great, great find!
