Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier wasn't merely a sports moment. It was one of the most historically significant moments in this country's recent history and the portrait card is the first time an African American player ever appeared in a major league uniform.
In my opinion, the portrait card is more significant than any other card in the hobby, and that includes the Wagner T206, which is merely a rarity.
PSA has a pop report of only 104 portrait cards.
