In the days of the Negro Leagues, baseball cards were produced strictly to promote products not to be collected in and of themselves. Since segregation in America lasted throughout the Negro League days, no company would advertise only African American baseball players to promote their product to a population that was still heavily weighted toward Caucasians unless the product was being marketed strictly to African Americans, which I don't believe ever happened. Thus, no cards of Negro Leaguers were ever issued so none can ever be found, minus a real photo postcard here and there.
