Up for your consideration is quite possibly the best lot of Jackie Robinson pins to ever hit the market.
We are offering an array of seldom seen Jackie Robinson pinbacks all in one lot.
There are a total of 12 rare pins and 2 gumball charms included in this lot.
All pins are in exceptional condition and 100% original.
Included in this lot is what many people regard as the first Robinson pin to ever hit the market. It shows him wearing a uniform that is attributed to his 1946 Minor League team, the Montreal Royals. This 1.75” pin was made when Robinson was with the Royals and it is extremely rare.
Also included are the following pins:
1.25” pin depicting a very youthful looking Robinson. His (first) name is placed in quotation marks.
1.25" pin which states, “I’m Rooting for Jackie Robinson.”
1.75" pin which has the same inscription, but the image is expanded to include a portion of the team name across the jersey.
1.75" pin which was made celebrating Robinson winning the inaugural Rookie of the Year Award in the National League.
1.75" pin featuring a pinstriped uniform from the Kansas City Monarchs when Robinson played with them in 1945. It appears the KC was airbrushed, leaving no team name or logo on either the jersey or the cap. The pin was created by vendors to sell early in the 1947 season before there were photographs of Robinson wearing a Dodger uniform. The team name “Dodgers” was added to the pin, although clearly this is not the uniform of the Brooklyn Dodgers. As such, this pin is not only from Robinson’s rookie year with the Dodgers, it pre-dates his pins wearing a Dodger uniform.

1.75” photo pin of Robinson featuring a yellow background. Based upon his appearance, this pin seems to be from near the end of his career. The contrast between his facial features from his first year in baseball (most notably the dated 1947 Congratulations “Jackie” pin) and this yellow background pin is most evident.
1.125" Robinson pin was one of five Dodgers featured in the 1956 Topps set of 60 (1.125”) pins.
