Graded FR 1.5 by SGC. Rookie Card. Hall of Famer. Jackie Robinson stars on this brilliant 1949 Bowman rookie, featuring him against a nostalgic red and white background. Possibly one of the most sought-after rookie cards on the market, this piece is considered to be extremely elusive, selling mostly in privately brokered sales. Jackie Robinson is commonly known for breaking the color barrier in Major League Baseball, making his first appearance in 1947 against the Boston Braves. The World Series winner earned six All-Star appearances, one NL MVP, one NL Batting Champion, and two NL Stolen Base Leader. Robinson had his number retired by every MLB team and was included in the MLB All-Century Team. Fair condition.
