Rafael Almeida and Armando Marsans both entered the game on July 4th, 1911 for the Cincinnati Reds as defensive replacements. They are considered the first Cubans to play in the modern Major leagues (after the American League joined the National League in 1901). Esteban "Steve" Bellan played for the 1871 Troy Haymakers of the National Association, so he is considered the first Cuban to play in a "Major" League.

A good day to revive this thread and ask others to share photos of their favorite Jackie Robinson or NLB-related cards.

Great time to revive this thread! Today is arguably the most important Jackie Robinson Day the MLB has celebrated since its inception in 2004. I've been lucky enough to pick up some former Negro Leaguer items over the past couple of years and always love it when great and rare NL items are shared here.

For Jackie Robinson Day: I discovered this amazing card on this site after joining last year and had to have one! Members also pointed me toward "Jackie Robinson: A Biography" by Arnold Rampersad as a great bio.

Affordable items of Negro League Hall of Famers can still be found. I recently picked up this 1954 Dallas Eagles media guide with Willard Brown for less than a blaster of Topps Flagship at Wal-Mart.

Great thread!! I too prefer the Paige 53 Topps. Its one of my favorite cards ever, if not my favorite.
I would also mention the Monte Irvin Red Man Tobacco card. Very affordable and absolutely beautiful. The Minoso is superb as well. Larry Doby '51 Bowman perhaps the best of the set; one of the best of the 50s. Jackie's 54 topps is very affordable contextually, but his '53 to me is absolutely iconic!! You can also get a willie mays exhibit card for just a couple of bucks. Identify it well by using tools online; you can even mark one printed in his rookie year!
