2001 Fleer Greats of the Game #63, Buck O'Neil Autograph ⭐ MLB Pioneer
This 2001 Fleer issue is phenomenal.
Buck O'Neil was one of the most important and beloved figures in baseball history, not only for his talent as a Negro Leagues player and manager, but for preserving and promoting the legacy of Black baseball in America. As the first Black coach in Major League Baseball and a tireless ambassador for the game, O’Neil helped ensure that the stories and accomplishments of Negro Leagues players would never be forgotten.
He was inducted into the MLB HOF in Cooperstown in 2022.
The hobby owes a debt of gratitude to Fleer for capturing the autographs of historical Negro League players before it was too late.

2001 Fleer Greats Of The Game #46, Lester Lockett autograph ⭐ Negro League
Lester Lockett never made it to The Show and his Negro League career is one of those that doesn’t always get the spotlight, but he was the kind of steady, fundamentally sound player who helped his teams win and earned the respect of both teammates and opponents.
His best season, statistically, came with the Baltimore Elite (pronounced E-Light) Giants in In 1948, when he led the league in batting average (.362), hits (85), and total bases (126).
