Jackie Robinson Business Card
 
I picked this up from ebay for $2. Figured it was a fun item if it is legit, and I'd only be out a couple bucks if it wasn't.

I saw another ebay listing of buy it now where the seller has multiples (priced higher than what I paid via the other auction listing) and it claims the cards are circa 1960s and are guaranteed authentic. I'd like a little more to go on than that. Can anyone offer further info about these? Thanks.

They're legit. Many of these have been auctioned off, sometimes in lots of a few hundred at a time, so they're not at all rare. Still a cool Robinson item.

The address is for a men's clothing store that Robinson opened in Harlem in 1952. The store closed in 1958.
