1955 Cincinnati Reds Team Issue Postcard ⭐ Nino Escalera, RC, Auto Nino Escalera never had a mainstream baseball card produced during his playing days. Just like many MLB Pioneers who started their careers in the Negro League and only got a shot at major league baseball when they were past their prime. On April 17, 1954, Nino Escalera &amp; Chuck Harmon were the first two Black players to play in a game for Cincinnati, 72 years after the Reds first started, in 1882. I bought this card raw. Yesterday, I hand delivered it to PSA representatives for grading and preservation. Collect What You Love.❤
