Picked up a lot of 10 Native American baseball player and team photos

Second item this month for my federal league collection.

Marty, that 1923 Senators team photo is a nice pickup! I never knew that George Gibson was a coach with the Senators for that one year. FYI, I collect type cards, and I prefer to have Senators' players/coaches for my types. A couple of my tougher type cards are of Gibson, and now I will no longer look to replace them.

Agree..... A stunning, important and elegant Federal League image.

Congrats Bob, on another amazing pickup (but your wall-space must be getting extremely tight after all of this activity!)

Some sports pinbacks...anyone know what that Cal Abrams pinback is from?

Hey Dan, I've always wondered, I know you have a Nebraska connection with your long-time collecting focus but do you also have a Native American connection to it?

I've always wanted one of these easel backed 1947 advertising signs from Louisville Slugger. I picked this one up very cheaply from the most recent Lelands auction.

I am 1/16th Native American. My great great grandmother was 100% Cherokee. I have never identified as NA though, nor would I have known if I hadn't found the papers and photos in my grandmother's stuff years ago.

That's not the reason I collect Native American baseball though. I just branched out from collecting the Nebraska Indians ball team memorabilia. All the research led me to want to expand.

Thanks for asking.

Love the pre-1963 Kansas City Athletics. Still looking for a 1962 road jersey.
