This lot features a NLBPA (Negro League Baseball Platers Association) collection of 5 autographed First Day Cover silk cachets including signatures of Buck O'Neill, Josh Gibson Jr., Ernie Banks, Leon Day, Monte Irvin, Don Newcombe, Double Duty Radcliff and Buck Leonard among many others. 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.
