I was at the Burbank Card Show at the Anaheim Convention Center yesterday, and the show was pretty interesting. But I was pretty blown away by one exhibitor who had 3 showcases full of vintage Jackie Robinson memorabilia, including some early type 1 photos, lots of signed items like barnstorming programs, tickets, and other stuff. He also had a cast bust of Jackie, which was extremely heavy, and appeared to have been used to manufacture the small plastic busts that had gumballs in clear plastic at the bottom. The back of the cast had the manufacturer's name as well in the exact spot as the plastic busts. It came with a small photo of the bust, signed by Jackie.
I know, I should have taken more photos of this guys stuff. It was all pretty pricey, but very cool to see.
