Ive owned 2 of them over the years, they are tough.

I would say (guess) at least 25X tougher is not more.

I actually was the one who reported this variation to Lemke years ago for the SCD Standard Catalog checklist.

The ones I sold were in the 2002-2005 Era and they sold then for about 3X what a comparable "dugout" card sold for.

PS the year is most likely 1947 on both cards, if you read the back of the "dugout" card it states he was born "28 years ago"
Dont have a scan of the back of the "Jumping" card anymore so dont know if it says his age, but I do know the back bio is different on both cards.

The value of the Old Gold cards along with the 1947 D305 Bond Bread Robinson have jumped lately.... more people are into collecting Jackie's true "rookies", far tougher than those overrated Bowman and Leaf cards of 1949.
