Cards of Negro League Hall of Famers

Thanks Ken. Great cards. I've been looking for a while, and have just not seen one of either yet.

Yeah Tony, I don't know much about that Cum Posey card other than it was part of some kind of commemorative Negro League set issued in Pittsburgh in 1988. It's not listed in my Standard Catalog. And as David said above, don't forget about the Laughlin Old Time Balck Stars and Long Ago Black Stars sets issued in 1974 and 1978, respectively. In many cases, those are the first modern cards of the Negro League HOFers, and first card period for many.

Those Lauglin cards are just so damn ugly!

You really think the Laughlins are ugly? I love them. Everyone I show them to thinks they are interesting. I guess beauty in the eye of the beholder. I used to own the same Posey, I think I bought it off Phil.

There was a thread on earliest known HOF, I had it bookmarked:

I used to think they were ugly, but my HOF Rookie chase led me to buy a few anyways. Honestly, once I got that first one in my hand, it quickly became one of my favorite sets.
