Kenny, the Mallorquina uncut sheet is no longer available for $50K. The price is now $80K.

An alternative way to go for collecting career contemporary pieces of Negro Leaguers that I have always liked is the team postcard/photo route. Oftentimes, you can get multiple Hall of Famers on a single item and cross off more than one individual at a time from your want/need list. These will usually save you substantial money over the one or two of a kind cards for guys like Pete Hill, Willie Foster, etc.

The 1931 Doble Aguila baseball cards have several Negro Leaguers including Hall of Famer Martin Dhigo. I do not believe that all of the players have been identified on the cards.

The postcard/team card idea sounds like a great one.... I’m not familiar with these. Do you have a image or link you could share to help? Thx for the tip.

The postcard idea will not be much more affordable. A true post card will cost a number of thousand dollars if there are hofers on it. You may want to check out the website for Hakes Auctions. They have had a number of auctions featuring negro league and Cuban postcards. You may also want to take a look at the RMY auctions for an idea of what negro league postcards and phots go for

As Jason previously mentioned, Hake's has been auctioning more Negro/Cuban League baseball memorabilia than any other auction house over the past decade, I recently joined their team earlier this year as Sports Consultant. Here are a few examples of Negro League team postcards that include Hall of Famer's and other stars of the day:
