Just stumbled on this one from eBay. Fragile condition but not often does a program from April 17th, 1947 come up for sale. Jackie Robinson’s first MLB hit (a bunt single to third) and Duke Snider’s MLB debut. Jackie’s debut on Opening Day drew about 26k, but the follow-up only had about 10k in attendance. Today is the 77th anniversary!

Fantastic find, Matt! How awesome.

As usual, mind-blowing item, Al. I'd love to own a Jackie auto on an Exhibit card but most of the ones I see for sale look sketchy.

I believe the top one with the caption closer to the picture, and the J font that drops below the other letters to be the first printing in August 1951. The middle one, with the "Large Name", to have been released in April 1952. And the bottom one, with the caption very low to have come out in teh 1956 - 1957 time frame. Still working on release dates. Doug |
