Graded VG-EX 4 by PSA. Beautiful mid-grade example of Jackie Robinson (throwing) 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 is bright and crisp with strong corners displaying light touches of wear. The back, which bears Robinson's facsimile signature and the tagline "Folks, why not eat the bread that Jackie eats?", is boldly printed. Spots of light staining are visible along the front and back. 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. Opening Bid $1,000.
