Fantastic news!! Well done, my friends!

I cannot take any credit for this. The press release announcing this news out of Cooperstown came out the same day (July 23) as my first letter to Mr. Idelson and the Board of Directors was dropped in the mailbox.

Guess it got overshadowed by all the hullabaloo surrounding the 2016 HOF inductees.

But at least now it's all clarified....

Sure, it's great news from every non-selfish perspective. But now I'll have to pay thousands of dollars for Cuban cards of more Negro League greats. Where am I supposed to find a Dick Lundy?

Paul:

Since 2010, Hake's Auctions has brought far more Negro League cards to market than anyone else. I believe there were two Dick Lundy rookie cards included during that time period. Many, but far from all, of these rarities originated from the famed Richard Merkin collection and came with COA's from Hake's stating such. There have also been many great non-Merkin items presented by Hake's, including an incredible 1923-24 Tomas Gutierrez complete set of Cuban baseball cards and several wonderful items from Martin Dihigo's own personal collection.

That is definitely great news, although unfortunate it will be every 10 years
