Jackie Robinson ticket and booklet

2 Attachment(s)

I'm looking for some help identifying the value and any known comp sales of 2 Jackie Robinson items: a ticket from the 1941 LA Coliseum Track and Field meet and a baseball booklet featuring Jackie Robinson by Sports Novelties out of Joliet, Illinois.

I really like the Booklet! Sorry I can't help on the price.

Booklet looks like it's using the same font as the 1947 Tip Top Bread cards.

I found an ad in the May 1948 Ebony from Sports Novelty Co., for a hat, 8 x 10 and "life story" of Jackie. Not definitively the same thing, there's no cover image in the ad, but probably so.

That image of Jackie holding a 1947 Dodgers schedule (I think) appears in Promises to Keep, visible in this ebay listing. But the original version (in the book) has him in his Royals uniform. A little alteration has happened.

Link to a scan of the magazine; it's on page 58.
