Were cards ever manufactured for the Negro Leagues in the 1940's? Would love to get my hands on some, but the only thing ever appearing on the bay are 90's inserts.

I don't think there were any cards produced for the Negro Leagues while the league was active. I very well could be wrong on that and am only going off of memory and a quick google search.

Here's a nice card though. Jackie Robinson wasn't the first to be on a baseball card. 1916 Zeenut Jimmy Claxton. I don't think he was ever in the big leagues but he at least was in organized minor league ball.
