In preparation for the "Big" game on Thursday between the Giants and Cardinals at Rickwood Field in throwbacks, I thought it would be appropriate to celebrate the occasion by showcasing some game used, autographs, pennants, etc. celebrating the occasion. I don't have a lot, but I have a few items including the 36x24 litho pictured signed by 210 former players. Please enjoy the photo and let's see what fantastic items are out there in private collections.

Impressive!
Finding someone who can post any game-used memorabilia from the Negro Leagues might be a big "ask". Not sure if anyone here can/will, but would sure love to see it!

Having issues uploading the pictures, but I have Dick "Cannonball" Redding's 1929 contract with the Brooklyn Royal Giants.
Beyond that, I have some Puerto Rico contracts as well including Willard Brown, Perucho Cepeda and Larry Doby. Last edited by Topnotchsy; 06-19-2024 at 03:29 PM. |

That's great Jeff! I would really like to see them if you can get the pics uploaded. I had some trouble uploading and it was because the file was to too big, I had to resize to a less quality photo, around 60% and it worked. Give it a shot.

Can't figure out why the Redding's are not working, but found I have the back page of a Perucho Cepeda contract saved on my computer and that loaded, so here it is.

That contract is amazing! I've been to Puerto Rico on numerous occasions and really love the island and people.

Incredible item. Do you know if it was signed at a particular event or reunion, and when?

Here’s something a bit different from Negro League history. Seats from Chattanooga Engel Stadium where Willie Mays played his 1st professional game in Engel Stadium

Doug, I wanted to let you know that I received the litho back from PSA today and it states 205 autographs with 31 not readable. I don't know why that couldn't read them all, but who knows. I wish the 3 ladies (Morgan, Stone and Johnson) and maybe the Josh Gibson Jr auto's were mentioned on the letter, but it is what it is. At least they're real! Unfortunately, I had a bat and Campanella signed ball that didn't.

Since GU Negro League jerseys are so scarce, I did the next best thing in snagging a George Crowe 1953 Milwaukee Braves jersey. If somebody compiles a list of the top dozen or so influential black players of the integration movement, Crowe will certainly be on it.
A few months after winning this jersey at Heritage, I received an offer through their "Make Offer" program, but it was too low and I turned it down. |
