I am very disappointed that their are no cards featuring the Negro Leagues. They are a vital and rich part of America's favorite past time. Anyone who does not recognize this is very narrow minded and uninformed. They did so many firsts, such as night games, they invented the concept of lights on the field so that they could play ball after dark. There are so many other facts, and if anyone thinks that it is degrading to the African American race to be aware of these facts is clearly living in the plantation era.
It would be great if some of those old baseball photos could get made into actual trading cards like I have done here. I'm sure a lot of card collectors would love a chance to own one.

What's with all of the Chicago Cub stamps? I expected a wider variety and, I don't know, maybe a team that's one a championship in the last 99 years...?
remember that these are historical documents. The relative lack of documents from the Negro Leagues reflects more about the time period from which these items were produced than oversight of the Library of Congress. They do have a lot of documents about African-American history at http://www.loc.gov/ammem . Check it out!
