This is a rare find indeed. This contract is between Negro League player Roy Partlow and the San Juan baseball club. The contract is dated October 19, 1940 and is clearly signed by Partlow in black ball point ink. The contract is in EX condition, there are three fold lines, and there are holes punched in the top. Otherwise the document is pristine with no edge tears or rips of any kind, though there is some toning and yellowing of the paper concurrent with its age.
