Jackie Robinson
1948 Leaf Baseball #79
Why It Matters
Jackie Robinson's Leaf rookie card connects the early postwar card market to his breaking of Major League Baseball's modern color barrier. Its importance is both a rookie-card distinction and a historical association. The issue is susceptible to printing defects, making the quality of a surviving example relevant beyond the identity of the player.
