Saw this card at a show a few months ago and didn’t get it. I’ve regretted not buying it ever since. Hit a small show in Mattoon, IL and lo and behold…the same card and same guy! I didn’t make the same mistake twice. Pretty excited about having one of the coolest Luke Easter cards I’ve seen!

2001 Fleer Tradition, Stitches in Time Auto ⭐ Joe Black - MLB Pioneer
Joe Black was a pioneering pitcher who cemented his place in MLB history by becoming the first Black pitcher to win a World Series game, achieving this milestone in 1952 with the Brooklyn Dodgers. After transitioning from the Negro Leagues' Baltimore Elite Giants, Black was named the 1952 National League Rookie of the Year as a dominant reliever. His 15-4 record and 2.15 ERA in 1952 were pivotal for the Dodgers, and his legacy of overcoming racial barriers earned him significant, lasting respect, including having the Arizona Fall League's MVP award named in his honor.
This 2001 Fleer autograph set is superb.
Big thanks to Fleer for getting autographs of MLB and Negro League legends; preserving history for future generations.
These baseball heroes will never be forgotten.

Very excited to grab a Larry Doby auto! What a player and a true baseball pioneer! I just learned yesterday that he was the first black ballplayer to hit a home run in the World Series! I’ve ended up with a decent collection of his cards and will continue to hunt for more.

Pretty excited to add this Luke Easter auto to the collection. Fun addition to the Easter collection and another Negro League great autograph

Luke Easter was a heck of a player who made it to the Indians after his prime, but still put up big numbers. He’s one of a few fellas to ever hit a home run to center at the old Polo Grounds - they called his homers “Easter Eggs.” I have a run going of his cards, but this is the nicest one so far and one of my nicest cards period. I’m also a fan of the 1952 Bowman set - I love the artwork. This one glows! One of my favorite cards.
