JOHN KING & HOOKS TINKER, Crawfords ~ Negro League sepia postcard

Description: For the Baseball Hobbyist. . . Historically Significant Limited Edition Postcard #45 - Pittsburgh Crawfords 1928, John W. King (Crawfords owner) & Harold "Hooks" Tinker Series 2 postcard issued in 1992 by R.D. Retort Enterprises Increasingly popular among collectors and serious baseball fans desiring vintage replicas of their favorites are postcards picturing greats, near-greats, journeymen and part-time players who appeared in the old Negro Leagues when Major League Baseball was a segregated game. This individual postcard is from a complete 100 postcard series depicting players, teams and game action of the old Negro Leagues. Each card is individually numbered XXX of 10,000 sets with that number imprinted on the back of this card. Issued in 1992 by R.D. Retort Enterprises, the Negro League Legends postcards are not reprints in the strict sense of the term. (We call them "commemoratives".) Actually, most are original cards issued many years after the Black Leagues closed up shop. The players, their uniforms and equipment, and even the partial views of stadia sometimes seen in the background provide the collector with the briefest glimpse of that time long ago. It should be further noted that no Negro League card set was ever issued in the United States while the black leagues were in operation. Each card measures 3-1/2" by 5-1/2" in size, features a nice sepia photograph and usually provides basic information about the player, team or scene on its post card reverse. Condition: Excellent/Near Mint or better - check the high-resolution scans, front and back. Note: a blue background has been used to assist in evaluating the card corners and edges. Shipping OPTIONS are available - YOUR CHOICE of either eBay standard envelope service (ESE) which is cheaper with slower delivery or USPS Ground Advantage (more costly for single cards but much faster delivery). We also offer UNLIMITED singles (up to and including 8X10 inches in size) shipped via Ground Advantage for the one card rate.
