Lot # 2883: Circa 1947 Bond Bread Jackie Robinson Bat Follow, White Sleeves PSA VG 3

Graded VG 3 by PSA. Beautiful mid-grade example of Jackie Robinson (batting, white sleeves pose) 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 light corner wear (minor discoloration on the bottom-left corner). The back, which bears Robinson's facsimile signature and the tagline "Folks, why not eat the bread that Jackie eats?", is boldly printed. Downgraded due to a light crease on the right edge, near Jackie's hands. 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.
