This lot features a Negro League collection of 9 autographed First Day Cover silk cachets including: Buck O'Neill, Cool Papa Bell, Larry Doby, Judy Johnson, Minnie Minoso, Ray Dandridge, Buck Leonard, Monte Irvin and Don Newcombe. Also includes an unsigned Oscar Charleston cachet. These treasures are highly coveted by autograph, stamp and art collectors alike. The "silk" refers to the very delicate material into which the very finest in original art and action photography are printed, bringing to life the whole purpose of the envelope. Once printed, each silk is applied by hand very carefully. In essence, every cachet envelope becomes a hand crafted work of art.
