Lot # 901: 1949 Bowman #50 Jackie Robinson PSA EX-MT+ 6.5

Graded EX-MT+ 6.5 by PSA (submitted by REA). Superb 1949 Bowman example of Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson. This is one of Robinson’s most striking and popular cards and one of the great classics of all postwar bubble-gum cards. 1949 Bowmans have always posed a problem for condition-conscious collectors. In addition to the many normal problems encountered with this issue (excessive toning, general wear from fragile paper stock, soft corners, centering issues, and print lines), collectors also have to deal with the wildly varying degrees of print quality that characterize the set. It is easy to see why 1949 Bowmans are one of the most difficult of all issues to collect in high grade. The offered example has vibrant colors, a crisp image, and strong corners. Clean reverse. This is an outstanding high-grade example of one of Robinson’s classic cards, worthy of any high-quality 1949 Bowman set, Jackie Robinson, or classic-card collection.
