2001 Stitches in Time




2001 Fleer Traditions - Stitches in Time.

I was recently introduced to this set by a friend. A 25 card insert sub-set of the 2001 Fleer Traditions cards, dedicated to the Negro Leagues. Parallels include autographs (Banks, Black, Irvin, O'Neil, Radcliffe and Wilson). Mays did not agree to sign any cards. Unsigned cards have appeared on the secondary market with forged signatures
Relics cards - game used bats (Campanella, Doby, Howard) uniform swatch (Mays, Robinson)
