1948 Jackie Old Gold ... or is it '47??
I just picked up this piece that I'd coveted since first seeing it a few months back. The fact that one of the best all-around athletes of all time was hocking cigs just fascinates me.
I'm new to this history, but while this item is considered a '48 by the graders, because Jackie's age is listed on the back as 28, and as he was born on 1/31/19, I've seen it theorized that this actually came out in '47.
Any experts care to provide your thoughts? Thank you!
