Show Me Some Jackie Robinson Stuff

[Dewey]

Never seen that card before, Adam. Super cool.

'53 Dodgers were the winningest NL team of all time until the 2020 Dodgers. On their way to another World Series showdown with the Yanks, they beat the Giants in September, but lost an all-star in Carl Furillo. He got into a fight with Leo Durocher, the new Giants manager, and broke his hand. Missed the postseason where the Dodgers again lost to the Yankees.

The Brawl. Jackie scoring last run of that game. And a stub.

And a '53 Topps. My favorite card.

Brett, I’m loving your Jackie collection. That is a beautiful ’53. Has anyone else noticed the blue mark in the sky next to Jackie’s hat on the ‘53? When I first got mine in hand I thought it was a pen mark. I wonder if it was a stray mark from the painter’s brush on the original or a printing mark on the card. Has anyone seen a picture of the original painting? I know it was auctioned off with a bunch of the other ‘53 paintings in the 80’s, but I’ve never seen a picture of the actual painting.

Thanks, Aaron.

Funny you mention it. I had the same experience with that mark!

Back down to earth, but keeping the thread alive...

This is the last one I really needed for my low grade Jackie set.

Out of vintage cards to show.

Here's a modern card signed by Rachel. And the corresponding wirephoto (1963).

This is the only one I currently own, but it's always been my favorite image if his on a card.
