Jackie has one of the best looking run of cards in the hobby. His big three complement each other so well in color and sizing, and I love them displayed together.
But if I could chose only one, it would be the '47 Bond Bread portrait (D302). Issued during Jackie's rookie season, I'm in the crowd that considers it his true rookie. It also is a bridge to postwar, being one of the best looking B&W war-era cards before the return to color with '49 Leaf. The Bond Bread portrait (2 1/4" x 3 1/2") is also very close in size to the modern standard baseball card (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") - ten years before the '57 Topps set established the current standard. The portrait card is scarcer than the Leaf and '52 Topps, which requires some effort and patience to find a nice example. And, for an even tougher challenge, collectors can go after the remaining 12 cards in the Bond Bread Jackie Robinson set. 214297216.jpg jackie 48 leaf.jpg jackie 52 Topps.jpg
