Ok all I have these 8 cards and I need help identifying them. I'm trying to find out information about the set they came from i.e. how many cards in the set? Is there a Checklist? Anything. They are reprints dated 1988 The Sporting News Publishing Co. Any help would be appreciated. I made the second photo as large as I could so maybe you can use the information to help. Thanks again.
Quoth the 2003 Standard Catalog of Baseball cards (every collector should seriously have at least one copy of the Standard Catalog):
ReplyDelete"1988 World Wide Sports 1933 Negro League All Stars
The photos of Charles M. Conlon in The Sporting News' archive are the basis for this collectorsissue depicting "1933 Negro All Stars". Fronts have borderless, sepia photos of players on a 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" format. The only graphics added to the front are in the upper-right corner designating the All-Star status. Backs have a few personal data along with a career summary. The unnumbered cards are checklisted here in alphabetical order:
(1) Cool Papa Bell
(2) Oscar Charleston
(3) Martin Dihigo
(4) Andrew "Rube" Foster
(5) Josh Gibson
(6) Judy Johnson
(7) Buck Leonard
(8) Pop Lloyd
(9) Dave Malarcher
(10) Satchel Paige
(11) Willie Wells
(12) Joe Williams
Jason thanks for the post. Thanks for both the info on the Catalog and also the checklist!
