Cards of Negro League Hall of Famers

[novakjr]

You can use the old cardboard hall of fame rookie card page as a reference. If you click on the players name, it will generally list their first 5 cards.

Thanks. I thought there was a list like that somewhere but I couldn't remember.

If you utilize the link that David posted, you can specify Negro Leaguers on the dropdown menu and it will pull up only those individuals.

I have always wanted cards like this as well and was wondering if there was Clemente or Willie Mays cards issued while they played for Santurces. At one point, they both played for them at the same time briefly. Durocher sent a young Mays there to play winter ball after the season early in his career to keep him under the watchful eye of the Giants and away from bad influences.

Sorry, no known cards of Mays or Clemente from the winter leagues.

[Kenny Cole]

Mays is pictured in the Acebo album. He doesn't have an individual card in the set.

That's right, Kenny. I believe that album was in one of Ryan's auctions not too long ago.

Most of them should be in the mid 70's Laughlin sets. If you're looking for more modern, there's a good chance alot of them are in the Ted Williams Co. sets.

Effa Manley and Cum Posey are the hard ones. Very little exists of them. I think I ended up settling for a Postmarked Cachet of Effa from 2006's Hall of Fame weekend. I believe for Cum Posey I ended up with one of the early 90's Negro League Postcards with him in the Homestead team photo..

I have the 1990 Eclipse Stars of the Negro Leages set all 36 cards in an uncut sheet if you are interested.

Sorry, love the Laughlin cards dating back to when I first got them in the 1970's. Trying to collect them all.
