Modestly graded example of Jackie Robinson (sliding pose) from the circa 1947 Bond Bread set. The thirteen-card set is devoted entirely to Jackie Robinson and features the Brooklyn Dodgers Hall of Famer in various black-and-white poses on glossy card stock. Graded GOOD 2 by PSA, the offered card is centered slightly to the right, with even wear on the corners including the tip of the upper right missing, and light toning. The back, which features an image of Robinson alongside a testimonial for Bond Bread as well as advertising for the company, is boldly printed. (Important set-dating note: In the past, guides have always dated all Jackie Robinson Bond Bread cards as issued in 1947. Recent outstanding research conducted by two true card scholars and presented on Net54baseball.com conclusively proves the set was actually issued over a period of several years, 1947-1950. That is why we've added a "circa" to "1947" in this description. Here's the link: http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=171169.) The circa 1947 Bond Bread issue is a historic set, dating from Jackie Robinson's earliest days in the Major Leagues, and individual cards from this classic issue will always be extremely desirable. Reserve $200. Estimate (open).
