One lot of 40 Cuban cards of Negro Leaguers. All of these players had careers in the Negro Leagues in addition to the Cuban League. Several had Major League experience. There are several cards of importance in this lot including HOFer Ray Dandridge, Buck O’neil, Don Newcombe, Orestes Miñoso, Lazaro Salazar, Luis Tiant Sr., Max Manning, Terris McDuffie, and many others.
The card of Don Newcombe is particularly important as this card (picturing Newcombe in his Newark Eagles uniform) is, to my knowledge, the only baseball card ever produced featuring a player in his Negro League uniform. Condition is across the board from Poor to EX/NM with 2 or 3 cards that would more accurately be graded as "Terrible." Players include:
