Autographs of James “Red” Moore, Wm Bobby Robinson and Armando Vazquez are on unlined index cards. Cowan “Bubba” Hyde autographed a Ron Lewis Negro Leagues postcard, and Art “Superman” Pennington, a Negro Leagues Legends postcard. Radcliffe was one of the best catchers and pitchers in the Negro Leagues. In a career spanning 1928 to the early 1950s, he may have collected up to 4,000 hits, including 400 home runs, and recorded 500 wins supported by 4,000 strikeouts. The ace of the Homestead Grays’ pitching staff in the 1940s, Fields was good enough to pitch in the major leagues, and maybe even to play the infield. Pitching, playing the infield and routinely batting above .300, he played in Canada and the winter leagues, winning eight MVP awards from 1950-58. These autographs, authenticated by Kevin Keating, average nm-m 8 to mint 9.
