Fresh collection of Negro League and Native American Ethnographic postcards. Lot includes six Greens Nebraska Indians postcards featuring the team posing in various poses, uniforms as well as traditional Native American dress. One very rare, 1910 glossy photographic postcard of the Oklahoma Indians at their campground in Michigan while on tour. One postcard featuring the team from Akron that lists each members name as well as their trainer. One 1920's local town team postcard featuring a team in non-matching uniforms and featuring a young black player and an older African American gentleman not wearing a uniform, perhaps the manager. One rare photographic postcard of two African American players posing for the camera. One of the players uniform has pin stripes and solid cap, while the other is in a solid uniform and pin stripped hat, both with the letter "I". One 1907 "A Slide For Second" postcard depicts an African American player wearing a brightly colored uniform sliding head first. `
