Museum Project Completed/Negro League to Majors

[herbc]

I finally completed my project today. I started it in 2012 after seeing an exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The exhibit showcased cards from the Burdick collection of Players from the Negro League who made a successful transition to the Majors. I decided to mirror the collection, and collect each card shown in the exhibit.

The last card I needed to complete my project was the 1954 Topps Henry Aaron. Nowadays, it is difficult for me to use eBay or purchase on-line when it comes to high profile cards that are often counterfeited. I was fortunate meeting a dealer earlier this month at the White Plains, NY, County Center Show. I looked at a couple of cards, and we were able to make a deal.

My 1954 Topps, Henry Aaron card arrived today.




I now have all 22 cards. I included the museum links below, then scans of the other 21 cards completing the collection. ENJOY!
