Description

Graded FAIR 1.5 by SGC. Modestly graded example of this classic rookie card of Brooklyn Dodgers Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson. The 1948-1949 Leaf card of Robinson is one of the most popular, striking, and classic of all his cards. Leafs are often encountered with many condition problems (excessive toning, general wear from fragile paper stock, soft corners, centering issues, and print lines), and collectors also must deal with the wildly varying degrees of print quality that characterize the set. It is easy to see why 1948-1949 Leaf is one of the most difficult of all issues to collect in high grade. The offered card has bright colors and a crisp image of Robinson. Flaws include honest corner wear and heavy creasing (including one extending through Robinson's face).
