Item Description

A collector's item! A new & sealed box of 2003 Jewish Major Leaguers, Limited Edition, 142 Baseball Card Set. Produced for the American Jewish Historical Society by Fleer/Sky Box International LP and Jewish Major Leaguers, Inc.


"This is a significant, highly readable and well-researched contribution to the documentary record of baseball." Timothy J. Wiles, Director of Research, National Baseball Hall of Fame.


The set is...the hit series of 2003, considered one of the most successful “niche” card sets to ever be introduced in the hobby, and the source of a wealth of attention and publicity. That set, limited to 15,000 and a sellout, led to a weekend seminar at the Baseball Hall of Fame to further pursue the topic. Eight of the players from the original set participated in that seminar. Rich Mueller, writing in Sports Collectors Daily, 2007.
