WTB: Signed 1974 Laughlin / 1978 Laughlin Negro Leagues cards. Autographed

[bleeckerstreetcards]

Hey y'all - my favorite collecting lane is negro leagues autographs.

I'm a card collector first, so naturally I'm drawn to the 1974 and 1978 Laughlin Old Time Black Stars sets.

If you have any you'd consider selling, I'll pay very strong - not afraid to pay more than prior sales.

Thanks y'all

Some more detail on the search below as I just posted this to another forum:

I would buy anything from the Laughlin sets and am usually willing to pay 'comps' or set new ones. Just love to find upgrades and missing ones.

For 1974 Laughlin: Willie Foster, Jelly Gardner, and Dave Malarcher are gaps in my sets, but I always like to get additional or upgraded Satchel Paige, Cool Papa Bell, Buck Leonard, Judy Johnson, and Ray Dandridge. I also recently bought the Willie Wells from REA. Unfortunately I was the underbid on the Willie Foster earlier this year and have been kicking myself ever since for not stretching further.

1978 Laughlin: I don't have a single one signed yet. Not for lack of trying, just haven't had the opportunity yet. Eager to land the first one.

1984 Decathlon / 1986 Fritsch: I am missing the following ones, and have many duplicates of most others for trade if interested. Missing: Rats Henderson, Buster Clarkson, Marvin Williams, Newt Allen, George Jefferson. I have the remaining 46 signed (of the players still alive at the time of release).

Thank you for your connections, consideration, and passing thoughts of encouragement. Happy collecting!

Luke
