Description

A limited boxed set of the American Jewish Historical Society's Jewish Baseball Cards and an autographed copy of Hank Greenberg by Ira Berkow.
The American Jewish Historical Society, in cooperation with Jewish Major Leaguers, Inc., has created a commemorative baseball card set, Jewish Major Leaguers: American Jews in America's Game. The set contains 141 cards of every identifiable Jewish Major League baseball player from 1871 to the 2003 All-Star break. Professionally printed for AJHS by the Fleer Trading Card Co., this limited edition, gift-boxed set documents the history of Jewish players in professional baseball. For 42 of these major leaguers, this is their first and only publicly issued card.

Special Instructions

The American Jewish Historical Society printed a limited number of sets as a fund-raiser and the cards are not sold commercially.
