From 1873 to 1963
Here are a couple of items from the beginnings of black baseball to the end of the negro leagues. The first is a print from 1873 of the Hampton University baseball team- this is the earliest realistic portrayal of blacks playing baseball that i have ever come across. The next two items are Indianapolis Clowns items. Few people realize that the Clowns actually continued to play into the 1970's. the press release is circa 1965 and the scorecard appears to bear the notes of the team owner Ed Hamman

Does anybody else get that same feeling that there might be an "attic find" in about 50 years if Jerseygary moves out of his house and leaves those scorecards behind! They'll be showing up all over with people claiming they're vintage scorecards.

Good point, however, each one is discretely marked with my website somewhere on it, plus all the ads are for fictitious products and I always slipped in an ad for Cooperstown Ballcap Company which my friend Will owns and the logo has a zip code in it. That said, they still look real convincing and like they are from 1945.
