Postwar Baseball - 1950s Cards

Graded VG 3 by PSA. Appealing card of Brooklyn Dodgers Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson from the legendary 1952 Topps issue. In addition to being one of the key cards to this classic set and one of the most famous of all postwar cards, Robinson's 1952 Topps card is part of the rare high-number series (although his card was double-printed and is therefore slightly more available than others from the same series). This example has a bright red background, a crisp image, and honest corner wear. Clean reverse. There is a small wrinkle running from the right edge to the lower part of Robinson's ear noted strictly for accuracy. Frequently overshadowed by the #311 Mantle from the same set (which is also a high-number series card and also double-printed), #312 Robinson is one of the few cards that defines the 1952 Topps set for collectors. Robinson is also one of the few Hall of Famers found in the 1952 Topps high-number series. This is an attractive mid-grade example that would be very much at home in a quality 1952 Topps set, Jackie Robinson, or classic-card collection. Opening Bid $10.
