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.

1953 Mother's Cookies #54, Piper Davis. ⭐
Piper Davis was a trailblazing and pivotal figure in baseball history, both as a standout player in the Negro Leagues and as a mentor who helped shape the future of the game. As a star infielder and manager for the Birmingham Black Barons in the 1940s, Davis not only led his team to success on the field but also played a crucial role in developing young talent—most notably a teenage Willie Mays. His leadership, skill, and integrity bridged generations and exemplified the resilience and excellence of Black baseball during a time of segregation. Davis’s legacy lives on as a symbol of mentorship, perseverance, and the enduring impact of the Negro Leagues.

Happy Thursday friends and card folk. 🌞
Have a great day! 👊
