Graded VG+ 3.5 by PSA. Presented is a very attractive example of this classic rookie card featuring Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson. The 1948-1949 Leaf Bubble Gum card of Robinson is one of the most popular, striking, and classic of all his cards. The offered example has bright colors, flawless registration, light corner wear, and centering slightly toward the right. Boldly printed reverse. A very light surface wrinkle in the upper-left quadrant contributes to the assigned grade. This is a very attractive example of one of the icons of postwar Hall of Fame card collecting.
