WTB: 1953 or 1955 Topps Jackie Robinson
This request is for a good friend who collected cards with me when we were younger. He still loves them but isn't really active in the hobby, though he remains a baseball fan. He has been reading baseball books to his first son, who is 2, and his son LOVES the Jackie Robinson book they read. So, he thought it would be fun to get him his first baseball card and make it a Robinson. We settled on 1953 and 1955 Topps as the most appealing affordable options.
The transaction will be with me, so no worries on a hassle - I am just trying to help him out. I don't know much about 1950s cards so I thought I would post here before hunting around elsewhere.
The absolute max budget for this is $300 all in, and it would be terrific if it came in under that. Looking for good color, no scuffing or major creases, and decent to good centering.
Drop me a pm if you think you have something that fits the bill.
Thanks, and sorry for the long BST post.
