JJK Copy Art Jackie Robinson back?

[polakoff]

I have always been under the impression that this is a postcard. My version has the “photo post card” back as do the other PSA graded examples I’ve seen. However I just watched this copy end on eBay well above what I would have expected a sale to be, and the back is blank:

Is this a variation in not aware of? Or is one type not authentic?

All real jjk copyart say so on the back

Thanks what I thought, so the one linked above would appear to be a copy? I’m shocked at what it went for (much more than my raw copy was in April) so I thought maybe this was some kind of more desirable type

I've had a blank back for decades. I do not believe it is a copy.



it appears to me to be a mail reply card for fan mail. I have a few different JR fan mail cards.

Interesting, and given the condition and relative cheapness of this issue — especially prior to last year — I wouldn’t expect an older copy, let alone one in that shape. Thanks for sharing.

I do assume, given that the same photo is used for Old Gold, if the blank back is something entirely different and not necessarily a JJK Copyart issue.
