Graded NM+ 7.5 by SGC. Hall of Famer, in a cherished Rookie Card appearance. This is a spectacular representation of Jackie Robinson's universally admired, large-portrait card. The singular athlete who changed the color of baseball, performed under a media microscope, and will be forever remembered for his poise and grace, is paid fitting tribute by this superb and scarce collectible. The card was produced during Robinson's second year with the Brooklyn Dodgers, and occupies a position of honor in all comprehensive collections. This specimen is splendid in every way. Its colors seem ablaze, its corners are robustly shaped, and its overall aesthetic is superior and praiseworthy. Bright, barely toned borders that are attractively balanced for this challenging issue surround a bold image that projects essentially flawless registration. Robinson's gentle gaze and humble demeanor, displayed beautifully on the offered piece, carried baseball to a new level of equality. Very pleasing Near Mint-plus condition.
