I found this yesterday, while searching for something else. I figured you guys might enjoy seeing it:





Description:

The slug and photo werte produced two days after Robinson signed with the Dodgers organization and the day that Robinson was released from the Kansas City Monarchs. Authenticated by PSA/DNA as a period type III photo. Photo measures 5" x 7".
