Monte Irvin 3/295

Monte Irvin is the last living Hall of Fame member who was elected by the Negro League Special Committee and he is the last living member to have played the majority of his career in the Negro Leagues.

(He is also great TTM and only charges $10 for a flat item and $20 for a baseball and will include his HOF inscription for free, and he will usually place his own return address label sticker on it which I love! He signed my card for free last year so I added a little extra when I sent the postcard.)
