Cool pieces. I like the R&H Beer slogan "A Barrel of Quality in every Glass".

This is my only piece from the Negro Leagues, but a valuable one at that.

I'm definitely trying start a collection, but all I have for now is a Buck O'Neil signed baseball.

Finding ANYTHING related to Josh Gibson appears to be a pipe dream.

I collect pre-Negro Leagues black baseball memorabilia - mostly cabinet photos with black players, but I have some other items as well.

This is a ticket book for the 1909 season at Gunther Park. Some huge games took place there that season, including the Leland Giants playing a series against the Cubans Stars and the Cubs beating the Leland Giants with Ed Reulbach out-pitching Rube Foster.

Nice stuff guys. A little surprised to not see any Jackie Robinson today. I did a little write up today for Sports Card Magazine about Jackie. If anyone is interested you can find it here: http://sportscardmagazine.net/2013/0...ckie-robinson/
