1933 Negro League All Star Series Game Cards

Greetings and Salutations

This is the official site for the 1933 Negro League All Star Series –– an imaginary twenty-one-game epic clash between the best of the best of Negro League Baseball. These cards which were specifically designed for this series, allow the Great American Pastime to be depicted and celebrated as never before –– through an imaginary contest between the finest black baseball players from North America. These playing cards are a central feature in this imaginary 21-game season that takes place during the fall of 1933. The opening to this contest occurs during the premiere of King Kong, where a century of baseball excellence takes center stage. The harvest moon summons legends from different eras to go toe to toe and face the judgment of history. These players representing a century of baseball excellence (mid-1800s to 1950), do battle across the North American continent as the series travels westward from the opening game in the Big Apple to its scheduled finale in California. Taking the field among earlier legends is a spry Willie Mays greeting Oscar Charleston in his prime. Moses Fleetwood Walker, Cool Papa Bell, Joshua Gibson, Satchel Paige, Queen Latifah and the Gandy Dancer, not to mention JaDay, JaMorrow, Red Socko the Problematic, and his twin brother Black Socko the Diplomatic, have been depicted as never before: in playing cards that are original from top to bottom, including the multi-paneled fold-out tuck box. These collectibles are aesthetically moving and historically rich. The artwork like the combatants they depict, is bursting at the seams with pride, confidence and freedom. They make great gifts and conversation. Your purchase comes with a free virtual deck and a free pdf.

Custom Designs

PurpleMule specializes in useful practical art. Art that fits in the pocket, especially the pocketbook. Art that is healthy and dignified. Art that will enrich your life without inflicting harm on your personal finances. We believe that visual design can soften the cruel edges of our daily existence. We believe that high art doesn’t have to be confined to a museum. Or that a museum is necessarily the best place to represent artistic excellence. Or that art must be prohibitively expensive or obscure. We don’t want to shock and capture attention. We want to enrich humanity with small little things that make a big difference. We are more concerned with focusing on the potential of our vast imagination than succumbing to our deepest fears and limitations. Our work is inspired by the utilitarian designs of Charles and Ray Eames. The Negro League Baseball All Star Game Cards are a tiny wedge in our ageless pursuit of purpose and beauty. They are one small step in the direction of the ultimate source of creative perfection.
