There are two printings of his Baseball Magazine supplement, that I know of.

Jackie the editor

In 1953 Jackie served as editor for Our Sports magazine. While it ran for only five issues it was not just some puff mag. It asked questions like willthere be a black manager and are the Yankees ever going to play a black player. This was big controversial stuff and this was when Jackie was an active player. Can you even imagine that today. The only parallel today would be if there was an active out gay player and mid career they put out a magazine wondering when the Tigers will accept a gay player. Amazing and overlooked

Love these cards. I would love the original photos used for them. I have never seen the one used for 1954 topps(portrait).

Here are a couple of mine:

Still looking for the dugout version to go with this one.

1952 Topps Baseball Card Advertisement

It still amazes me that they picked JR as the image for this piece (which I am glad they did).

My primary collection focus is Jackie Robinson and integration.

1) 1956 lineup card with Jackie (picked this up tonight so pretty excited about it)
2) 1946 Montreal Royals team signed baseball (Jackie Minor League team)
3) 1947 Brooklyn Dodgers team signed baseball (Jackie RC)
4) 1953 Jackie Robinson All-Stars barnstorming - Negro League Baseball
5) 1937 Pasadena Junior College signed yearbook (Jackie's 1st year in Junior College)
6) 1938 Pasadena Junior College 4x signed yearbook
7) 1949 Jackie Robinson All-Stars Barnstorming program
8) 1949 1949 Jackie Robinson All-Stars Barnstorming ad

Here are a couple for the anniversary.

And one more. I love the write up on the Old Gold (catching). A reminder of what a phenomenal athlete he was.

I don't think we have seen these yet

1954 All-Star Photo pack

Coaching basketball in Harlem in 1948:

I don't have a scan, but I have a funny Jackie Robinson collecting story. Around 15 years ago, I was looking for something to collect, a set I could put together slowly on a budget. I was open to almost any era of collecting, just wanted to take my time and buy them slowly. I thought about it for a while and settled on the 1956 Topps set. I really liked the design, plus I bought a 1956 Topps Jackie Robinson just as a type card for Hall of Famers, so I had a nicer card from the set out of the way already.

I went to Ebay and bought some Pirates cards in a lot of maybe ten different ones. I'm a Pirates fan, so I was knocking them off first. Bought a Clemente off of Ebay as well. I then went to the Fort Washington show (may have been in Reading by then) and bought a small pile of semi-star cards and lower tier Hall of Famers.

After getting all of those cards from the show and in the mail, I then went to my safe to pull out my 1955 Topps Jackie Robinson. Yes, 1955 Topps. So basically, I started collecting the 1956 Topps set because I had a 1955 Topps Jackie Robinson.

I have always preferred the aesthetics of the cards in the 1955 set (I find the white outlining around the players image to quite often be distracting in the 1956 set), but ended up collecting the 1956 set because I already had Jackie's 1956 card that I bought long ago as my Jackie Robinson representative in my collection.

Here are a few of my favorite Jackies in my collection.

Really nice items of Jackie. Don`t have too many pieces myself but enclosed is this photo of Jackie during one of his initial workouts in the minors. Wish it had better registration but being so early in his career, couldn`t pass it up.

Great movie. Touched off my effort to collect Robinson cards and premiums. A client at Warner Bros gave me some fun promo items that I display at the office.

A cool autographed snapshot

That I do not think was shown here...
