Postwar Baseball - 1950s Cards

Rarely offered example of Jackie Robinson (running to catch ball) 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. The offered card has a crisp image of Robinson. The back, which features an image of Robinson alongside a testimonial for Bond Bread as well as advertising for the company, is boldly printed. Graded POOR 1 by PSA (submitted by REA) largely due to heavy creasing and other surface imperfections. (Important set-dating note: In the past, guides have dated all Jackie Robinson Bond Bread cards as issued in 1947. Recent outstanding research 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.) Opening Bid $300.
