What are some period sets that feature Negro League players?

[packs]

I was looking at the Negro League thread on the memorabilia side. I've always wanted to acquire a great Negro League piece but prefer cards to memorabilia. I was wondering what sets feature Negro League players and if anyone has a card I'd love to see it.

I know that the Aguilitas, Billiken, and Felices sets have a lot of great players. And that the Cabanas set has a few too. Are there any other sets that feature Negro Leaguers? I think i remember a post card set too.

Where's a Noize Bringer when you need him?

Here is a 2007 Allen & Ginter autograph card of Stanley "Doc" Glenn I was lucky enough to get in a box I bought when they first came out.

From the 1923-24 era are the three Cuban League issues: Tomas Gutierrez, Nacionales & Billiken (as you mentioned). From the late 1940's - early 1950's: Toleteros & Denia are Puerto Rican League issues. If you want to call it a "set", c1931 Harrison Studios issued a few postcards picturing Homestead Grays players including the dual-autographed Josh Gibson postcard. As you also mentioned the two Caramelo (Felices) Cuban League issues were produced during the mid-1940's. These sets would be a good start for you.

Phil,

You forgot the Punch issue from the teens, the Propagandas and Almanaques from the '40s and the Acebos from the '50s. With those additions, period sets containing negro league players are pretty well covered.
