Is there -- and if there is, can anyone show -- any 19th-century card or postcard featuring Frank Grant?
We have digital images of the 1887 Buffalo team photo that includes Grant, and of one or two steel engravings from 19th-century newspapers, but a card or postcard would be something we'd greatly appreciate seeing.

Frank Grant does appear on an 1887 Buffalo team cabinet card, unfortunately, the only one that I know of was part of the infamous theft from the Baseball HOF Library in Cooperstown. If that one ever came to market, I think it might be seized by the FBI.
Grant also does appear on one newspaper woodcut that I know of, its an issue from the Cleveland Gazette from 1889 picturing Grant on the Cuban Giants. RPPC's did not exist before 1900 so a 19th Century postcard is an impossibility. I don't know of any other 19th Century Grant photos that exist but it's possible, he played on some good Cuban Giants teams during the 1890's so something could be out there.....

Moses Fleetwood Walker--The last black major league player before Jackie Robinson. Walker is pictured in this 1888 Syracuse Stars cabinet standing at extreme left. Also pictured is another black player, Robert Higgins.

And thanks to everyone else who posted up some pics in this thread too. It looks like Negro League/Cuban collecting is still going strong. Some fantastic cards shown.

Thanks Leon. BTW, standing next to Walker is Ed Dundon. He was the first deaf player in Major League Baseball history. He pitched for the Columbus Buckeyes of the American Association in 1883 and 1884.
