And not to puncture your balloon, but the Jackie Robinson is not his rookie, with several 1947 issues predating it (the 1947 Bond Bread Exhibit seems especially elusive and difficult to acquire).
I believe they will all appreciate in value, with the only question being how much in comparison to other cards the same money could have gone into.
Good luck with them,

While not his true rookie, the first mainstream card of a player is usually the most sought after. I collect the Bond Breads (13 card set), but if I were to invest in a Jackie there is no doubt I would pick the 1949 leaf
