Jason:

One thing to remember, for the Negro League teams to promote themselves by having baseball cards printed, there is a cost there and many of the teams were barely able to stay solvent as money was very tight. This may have been why that never happened. Also, the primary means of promotion in the Negro Leagues seemed to be broadsides, probably paid for by the hosts of the games. These were much more prevalent than in Major League Baseball.
