Description: For the Baseball Hobbyist. . . Historically Significant, Numbered Limited Edition 100 Sepia Negro Leaguers Postcards ~ Factory-sealed set #2352 of 10,000 with original issue box 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 2352 of 10,000 sets with the number 2352 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. Box slightly shopworn (front) 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 #2355 with 100 different postcards. The second and third scans show the factory-sealed set from the back with set #2353.
