Encapsulated and assessed "Authentic" by SGC. Hall of Famer, in his debut gum card appearance. Jackie Robinson was one of the most memorable figures ever associated with the game, and inspiring stories, in abundance, exist about all facets of Robinson's career. Accordingly, the great player's scarce rookie card is viewed as an important cornerstone in any accomplished card collection. Robinson's first card is among the key subjects in the intriguing baseball series produced by Leaf Gum Co. in 1948-49, a notably challenging post-war issue. The offered example of that seldom-seen treasure presents carries an EX presentation quality, however, each of the four edges have been trimmed. This sought-after collectible is printed on the issue's grey-colored cardstock, bears a "1949" copyright date on the reverse and will fit into a nostalgic assembly.
