Not very accurate. How about Roy Campanella and Satchel Paige in 1948, Luke Easter and Don Newcombe in 1949 and Joe Black in 1952 just to mention a few. I thought perhaps they were mentioning the first players with specific teams, but that's not the case. Have you got all these guys in your 1953 Topps collection?

Well, I have the ones who signed with Topps. Luke Easter, I believe is in there, along with Campanella and Paige. Can't remember about Black and Newcombe.
