Description: For the Baseball Hobbyist. . . Historically Significant, Numbered Limited Edition 100 Sepia Negro Leaguers Postcards ~ Factory-sealed set #462 of 10,000 Complete Series I collection issued by R.D. Retort Enterprises Increasingly popular among collectors and serious baseball fans desiring vintage replicas of their favorites are postcards picturing greats, near-greats, journeymen and part-time players who appeared in the old Negro Leagues when Major League Baseball was a segregated game. This is a complete 100 postcard series depicting players, teams and game action of the old Negro Leagues. Each card is individually numbered 462 of 10,000 sets with the number 462 imprinted on the back of each card. It is a factory-sealed set and is available at modest cost. Issued in 1991 by R.D. Retort Enterprises, the cards are not reprints in the strict sense of the term. (We call them "commemoratives".) Actually, most are original cards issued many years after the Black Leagues closed up shop. The players, their uniforms and equipment, and even the partial views of stadia sometimes seen in the background provide the collector with the briefest glimpse of that time long ago. It should be further noted that no Negro League card set was ever issued in the United States while the black leagues were in operation. Each card measures 3-1/2" by 5-1/2" in size, features a nice sepia photograph and usually provides basic information about the player, team or scene on its post card reverse. Condition is Near Mint or better - being factory sealed. Shipping includes insurance and delivery via Ground Advantage (USPS). Note: we have pictured the cellophane factory-sealed set (catcher Otha Bailey is card on top) along with several scans of singles taken from our singles inventory. The buyer will receive factory-sealed set #462 with 100 different postcards. The second and third scans show the factory-sealed set from the back with set #462. This fine set includes the following postcards: #1 Otha Bailey ~ 2 Harry Barnes ~ 3 Gene Benson ~ 4 Bill Beverly ~ 5 Charlie Biot ~ 6 Bob Boyd ~ 7 Allen Bryant ~ 8 Marlin Carter ~ 9 Bill Cash ~ 10 Jim Cohen ~ 11 Elliott Coleman ~ 12 Johnnie Cowan ~ 13 Jimmie Crutchfield ~ 14 Saul Davis ~ 15 Piper Davis ~ 16 Leon Day ~ 17 Lou Dials ~ 18 Mahlon Duckett ~ 19 Felix Evans ~ 20 Rudy Fernandez ~ 21 Joe Fillmore ~ 22 George Giles ~ 23 Louis Gillis ~ 24 Stanley Glenn ~ 25 Willie Grace ~ 26 Wiley Griggs ~ 27 Albert Haywood ~ 28 Jimmy Hall ~ 29 Cowan Hyde ~ 30 Monte Irvin ~ 31 Sam Jethroe ~ 32 Connie Johnson ~ 33 Josh Johnson ~ 34 Clinton Jones ~ 35 Larry Kimbrough ~ 36 Clarence King ~ 37 Jim LaMarque ~ 38 Buck Leonard ~ 39 Max Manning ~ 40 Verdell Mathis ~ 41 Nath McClinic ~ 42 Clinton McCord ~ 43 Clyde McNeal ~ 44 John Miles ~ 45 Buck O'Neil ~ 46 Frank Pearson ~ 47 Art Pennington ~ 48 Nathan Peoples ~ 49 Andy Porter ~ 50 Ted Radcliffe ~ 51 Chico Renfroe ~ 52 Bobby Robinson ~ Tommy Sampson ~ 54 Joe Scott ~ 55 Joe Burt Scott ~ 56 Herb Simpson ~ 57 Lonnie Summers ~ 58 Alfred Surratt ~ 59 Bob Thurman ~ 60 Harold Tinker ~ 61 Quincy Trouppe ~ 62 Edsall Walker ~ 63 Al Wilmore ~ 64 Artie Wilson ~ 65 Jim Zapp ~ 66 Grays vs. Stars 1937 ~ 67 Grays vs. Eagles 1943 ~ 68 Homestead Grays 1944 ~ 69 Grays vs. Cuban Stars 1944 ~ 70 Grays vs. Cubans 1944 ~ 71 Grays vs. Eagles 1945 ~ 72 Eagles Pitching Staff 1941 ~ 73 Buckeyes Infield 1945 ~ 74 Homestead Grays 1948 ~ 75 Chicago Murderers Row 1943 ~ 76 Indianapolis Clowns 1948 ~ 77 East All-Stars 1937 ~ 78 East All-Stars 1938 ~ 79 East All-Stars 1939 ~ 80 East All-Stars 1948 ~ 81 West All-Stars 1948 ~ 82 Homestead Grays 1931 ~ 83 Homestead Grays 1943 ~ 84 Pittsburgh Crawfords 1936 ~ 85 Kansas City Monarchs 1934 ~ 86 Kansas City Monarchs 1949 ~ 87 Chicago American Giants 1941 ~ 88 Chicago American Giants 1947 ~ 89 Memphis Red Sox 1940 ~ 90 Memphis Red Sox 1946 ~ 91 Birmingham Black Barons 1946 ~ 92 Birmingham Black Barons 1948 ~ 93 Birmingham Black Barons 1950 ~ 94 Harlem Globetrotters 1948 ~ 95 Cleveland Buckeyes 1947 ~ 96 Philadelphia Stars 1944 ~ 97 Newark Eagles 1939 ~ 98 Baltimore Elite Giants 1949 ~ 99 Indianapolis Clowns 1943 ~ 100 Cincinnati Tigers 1937 _______________________ Important: Shipping Information A goal has always been to keep shipping costs low.
