1949 Bowman Jackie: my 1st big pickup since the National

Great looking Jackies guys! I hope to get a 1950 Bowman next year.

This is my only Jackie. It's not a 6.5, but I think it looks nice for the grade. Bought a while back here.

That Leaf is a beauty, Jesse, congrats. I understand that the Leaf is so much tougher and desirable, but besides price, it comes down to the image for me: on the Leaf, Jackie looks sleepy but on the Bowman he looks happy.

Yea the Bowman is a great looking card. I had planned to pick up both but haven't got around to it yet. So many great cards out there but unfortunately I can't afford them all.

If you want a truly tough Jackie rookie, try to find the 1947 Bond Bread Exhibit card--very, very elusive! It utilizes a very popular portrait image.

Happy collecting,

My only Jackie Robinson card. If I wasn't almost exclusively collecting 52 Topps cards, I would focus most of my attention towards more of JR's cards and memorabilia.
