I'll be 72 years young in a few m0re days and baseball and cards have been my joy all these years. I have 10's of thousands of cards from the 50's to the present but its my older cards from way back that I cherish and my Negro league cards ( not original), I cherish most! Satchel Paige and Jackie Robinson are my favorites! Cant wait to find me some of these newer ones! They look awesome! Thank you for this video!
I love those set! Living up the street from Jackie Robinson ballpark has been great! This Negro League collection is a long overdue celebration of talent. I scooped R1-R4, but somehow missed 5 & 6. Can't find the dates on Topps for the last 2 either. ?
Great idea. If we could see this set expand with one new card a week for the next 3 to 5 years it would be amazing and collectors would learn so much beyond the great players like Mays, Jackie and Paige.
I think this is fantastic. I’m 62 now, kind of done with baseball the past decade or so. It’s a changed game (for me) but give me old time baseball and it turns me into a 12 y/o little leaguer again, when baseball was rampant in my DNA. I somehow lost it along the way and that’s too bad. It seems there was a lot more talk about the Negro league back then, and that too seems to have went by the wayside. I used to collect Tops cards as a kid. Those too are all gone, I hate to think of the cards I had that were tossed. I’m going to see if I can get a hold of these cards though, going to do that right now.
Topps was sold to Fanatics since it had already lost its MLB exclusive license deal, so now it's a different kind of scam. I still love cards, and never tossed mine. And while I've been reticent on wasting money on new cards, these at least have soul. Long overdue.
I Hope that You Do, Friend! And, not for the "financial" benefit ... but to, re-introduce Yourself to Your "inner" Child/Collector! I "am" Your story ... and am Excited for You!! Go, Gettum Tiger!!! #COLLECT WHAT YOU LOVE.. And, ...... #COLLECT WHAT MOTIVATES YOU!!!
Goodebumps throughout this entire clip. My family and I have been to the NLBM twice. You feel and experience a quiet reverence when you are there. Giants of the game. This Topps project is pretty monumental. What I wouldn’t give to stand in the box with Satchel on the mound. I wouldn’t take the bat off my shoulder. I just want to hear the ball whizz over the plate and smack the catcher’s mitt. And see Satchel smile.❤⚾️
You had it already, you ASKED and WANTED blacks to join. Well , not bums like you but the people that make moves. When will you get all white football or basketball or track? lol you must not watch sports

Incredible. Great video.
So dope! Awesome work.. Stories that HAVE to be told.
Well done Topps! I may throw them under the bus at times on my channel, all in good fun, but they really knocked it out of the park with this one!!
Beautiful work, a fine tribute ❤ thank you.

super dope! Awesome work
Yes - Well done!
Respect!!!
When do these drop?!?!?
Love this!❤
I absolutely love everything about this, and it so deeply touches my heart. What an exceptional idea!
Where can you buy these cards ...please let me know ...ty
Who b carin?
The 1974 Laughlin is the goat set for old school black league players!
HOOP
Wish I could buy cool theses cards online It seems like there already sold out 😩 hopefully there still selling
Shows you how utterly ridiculous racism (or sexism or homophobia) is. Super strong athletic people should be able to reach their potential always
When do we get the white only set?
Bad idea to go there
Just buy a pack a cards, 9/10 are all white
You had it already, you ASKED and WANTED blacks to join. Well , not bums like you but the people that make moves. When will you get all white football or basketball or track? lol you must not watch sports
What about black Latinos players??
1974 laughlin
Most of the great ones of the era like Dihigo and Tiant Sr. also played in the negro leagues.
Los Tiantes should be in the HOF if.you ask me
what about them? They played in Negro Leagues too . Latino doesnt matter ,they are black
