For 3500, which Jackie would be your one/only?

[packs]

I always liked this card too but it certainly won't run you $3,500:

I actually like the 1952 Berk Ross Jackie Robinson and I believe it has been under appreciated compared to others
Which to me means you can get a nice one for the $ and long term has a nice upside potential

My first choices would be a low grade yet presentable example of the Bond Bread facsimile portrait or 1952 Topps. My alternative would be one of the two oversized 1948 Old Gold cards. The Old Gold cards both have interesting write ups on the back that make them unique.

'52 Topps numerically graded in a PSA holder, without a doubt.

IMHO it's the greatest post-war set ever created, with the greatest post-war card ever created (#311), the rising tide from which will continue to float all boats (e.g. Jackie and Mays).

The 1949 Leaf Robinson RC is his best card, but I don't see you finding one for 3K. I would look at his other RC, the 1949 Bowman or the 1950 Bowman. 1952 Topps is probably out of your range too.

I know this card is an outlier, but it is certainly near the top on my list as I love the pose. I sold my PSA Bond Portrait last summer at auction, so I have already had one. I can see how it would dominate though.

I thought I had something to share, but not in that price range. The Bread Issues are probably your best bet,

Five years ago this card would have fit your budget; now, you might have to drop down two or three grades. There's several Bond Bread cards to choose from.

In my humble opinion, his true rookie card. May not be able to get this condition in that price range, but a great card nonetheless

I would go with one of these

Just for clarity the 1947 Bond Bread Portrait card is Jackie’s true rookie. That is definitive. It is the first card to feature him in a Dodgers uniform and in my opinion one of the most significant cards ever released.

There may be truth in your statement, but you can't ignore that it's a regional set. To me that adds just a bit of "yeah, but....."

Wow. That's a nice Jackie run. Some of those would cost Jeff a bit more than $3500, though, I'm guessing.

I’m a fan of 48 leaf rookie but for 3500 you can get a really nice looking 49 Bowman. Great card.

So controversial to call it his rookie and to call it 48 but I like to live dangerously.

[Kutcher55]

52 Topps all the way, no contest, would like a “1” with good eye appeal.
