New Negro League memorabilia collector(s) in the market?

During the boom several years ago, card prices were strong but photos and postcards really exploded. What are thoughts on these types of Negro League collectibles these days?

I know that the 3 Harrison Studios postcards have set record prices over the past several months.

Yeah, Phil, I really don't know. I guess we will get a bit of a view when Derek's stuff hits the REA auction here soon. Over the last decade, I have been shocked at the post card pricing in general (perhaps that is why I do not have many in my collection!)... but the photos have been all over the place... much more variability that I would like to see... but such is the way of the world. The results on those postcards were very, very strong, so perhaps there is some new money in the space or some serious postcard collectors getting in the space.

For my taste and based on my math, the cards still look cheap to me. But who am I?
