Rare Brooklyn Dodgers regular-season ticket stub (1.25 x 2.75 inches) issued for a game against the Boston Braves on April 17, 1947, in which Jackie Robinson recorded his first Major League career hit by laying down a bunt in his third at-bat, in the fifth inning. The Dodgers defeated the Braves 12-6. Robinson went 1 for 3 in the game. Graded VG-EX 4 by PSA (submitted by REA). This is the ONLY example that has ever been graded by PSA! This is also the first example we have handled in the past twenty years. Robinson was in his rookie season in 1947, and any Dodgers ticket stubs from that historic season, especially those from significant games, have always been highly prized by collectors. This is an outstanding high-grade example and one that would be a welcome addition to any Brooklyn Dodgers or Jackie Robinson collection. Reserve $500.
