Default Vintage Baseball Movie Lobby Cards....

The other thread got me to thinking, I would like to see some lobby cards...These "The Jackie Robinson Story" (ca 1950) movie lobby cards are 8 x 10 real photos on the cardstock itself. These are narrowly off topic for the front page, but interesting, so what the heck.....
According to our friend Wiki-

The Jackie Robinson Story is a 1950 biographical film directed by Alfred E. Green (who had directed The Jolson Story, "one of the biggest hits of the 40s")[3] and starring Jackie Robinson as himself. The film focuses on Robinson's struggle with the abuse of bigots as he becomes the first African-American Major League Baseball player of the modern era.

The film is among the list of films in the public domain in the United States.[4] However a new copyrighted "restored and in color" version was released in conjunction with the Jackie Robinson Foundation in 2008.
