Richard not only avidly collected Negro League and Latin American baseball artifacts, but as an artist painted many of the players. Over the last decade of his life he began to sell off parts of his collection, but nothing from these leagues unless it was a duplicate card.
As far as why the prices are strong, more research is being done in this area of baseball, more Negro league players are now in the Hall of Fame, and there appear to be a few collectors who are going after this stuff big time. I guess also that with Richard's collection now being sold the field is garnering more interest. It appears to be a combination of factors working at the same time.

Merkin
Through the years ,going back to the mid 1980's we secured a number of important Negro pieces from the Merkin collection. In fact, if the offer was strong enough, Richard was a seller.
Because the items are not catalogued and the history and provenance can be sketchy The Negro League material has attracted a small, highly sophisticated, well educated and wealthy group of elite collectors. We would guess that there are less than 25 collectors (excluding uniforms andautographs) whose Negro League collections are worth in excess of $100,000. It would be great if someone could through all the auction catalogs dating back to 1990 and publish a picture of item and prices realized for each Negro League item (historical not modern) that realized $500 or more.
