As an information junkie, I'm looking forward to seeing what comes out of this project. I think that once you have everything laid out, compile all the known info that the major contributors have and can start giving board members an idea of where the holes are, you will see a lot more response.
At least, I know that's where I might be able to contribute a little, and I'm sure there are many other board members who have a small handful of Negro League pieces that they could contribute images and info on, but don't feel they have nearly enough information or exemplars to be jumping into one of the co-pilot's seats.
It is MUCH easier (and less daunting) to contribute missing pieces to a Standard Catalog than it is to compile and write the initial Catalog. This area of the hobby definitely needs to be covered though, and I for one greatly appreciate you stepping up to head up the effort. Good luck!
