I only have 4 of the 5.

Little curveball, but here is a photo of 5 of the first 6 predominantly Negro Leaguers who were inducted into the HOF. They played together on the 1934 Pittsburgh Crawfords. Buck Leonard who played for the Homestead Grays was in the first 5, but Charleston was better, so I am giving him the extra credit. This photo was taken in Yankee stadium by a famous photographer from Harlem James VanDerZee.

Paige 1971
Gibson 1972
Papa Bell 1974
J Johnson 1975
Charleston 1976

This is the single most aesthetically pleasing group of cards I’ve ever seen. Just add a CJ Joe Jackson as honorable mention.
