I love these sweet spot autograph cards. Monte Irvin was a Negro League and MLB great who was inducted into the baseball hall of fame in 1973 by the Negro League Committee. Monte also served our country for the U.S. Army from 1943-45 during WWll.

1926-27 Aguilitas #841, Oscar Estrada ⭐ MLB Pioneer
This card is incredible and it is over 100 years old.
Oscar Estrada is an historically meaningful figure, particularly as part of the wave of Cuban-born players who navigated both the Negro leagues and Major League Baseball, which blurred the strict racial line that existed in MLB at the time.
In other words, Oscar Estrada represents the overlap between Black baseball and Latin baseball, which is often overlooked.
Oscar Estrada's MLB participation was limited in 1929, with the St.Louis Browns, yet still meaningful.
A MLB Pioneer to whom we owe a debt of gratitude.🙏

I'm running a little auction of a half dozen Cuban cards of Negro League players over on my Facebook group, Vintage Baseball Cards. Pepper Bassett, Barney Serrell, several cool names. Prices currently $25-$100 or so! Join the group if needed and then just search for me! Matt Felumlee. I'll try to link directly to the sale in the comments.

This bad boy arrived today, courtesy of Clean Sweep Auctions (whose prices are always reasonable, in my experience). I love this piece because it is from Satchel's epic 1948 season with the Indians, and it is way more affordable than the '49 Bowman...
