Awesome Early Jackie Robinson PC, Hilarious Ebay Description

[JustinD]

As mentioned prior, a similar postcard has been sold a few times over the past few years, for much less than a billion. It has similar texture and the personalization could be read that this was an item Jackie would mail autograph seekers and fans. This seems to be real to me as well. Now without seeing a postally used example with a cancel it’s still up to the buyer to believe date of production, but there is decent chance Jackie was possibly the source or just simply mailing back a submission. That Eastman Kodak stamp box is supposedly used from 1930-1950, so it would fit the window. I am not even slightly able to date Jackie Robinson signature styles over the years, maybe someone can see a difference if this signature was early or later in career.

Interestingly, Leland’s has also sold the negative for this photo in the past as well -

I was going to offer 900 million but figured he would just decline it.

Some good info in this thread.
And here, in this thread, Burke is mentioned again

I saw that one and read the description and immediately wanted to assume it was a worthless piece, but looking at the image, the signature looks real and while I'm not an expert on postcards, it seemed like it had a shot to be real.

If both are legit, it is probably a $10K+ item.

Here are some sigs to compare to if anyone wants to try dating it.

In Order

"I want the highest dollar to amount possible starting at $500,000...."

There's a big difference between $10,000(perhaps) and $500,000. The listing is beyond silly.
