Lot # 2507: 1950-1952 Jackie Robinson Comic Books CGC-Graded Complete Set Plus 1948 Negro Heroes #2 (7)

Complete set of all six Jackie Robinson comic books issued by Fawcett Publications between the years 1950 and 1952. Accompanied by a 1948 Negro Heroes #2 featuring Robinson on the cover. Each book has been graded and encapsulated by CGC. When Fawcett published the first Jackie Robinson comic book in May 1950, it was never intended to issue any others, which is the reason why the first issue is unnumbered. However, once Fawcett realized how popular it was with kids, the company quickly decided to issue subsequent books, all of which were then properly numbered. What makes these comic books so appealing to collectors today is that all feature beautiful full-color photos, not illustrations, of Robinson on each front cover. Individually, the comics grade as follows: #1 (5.0), #2 (4.0), #3 (4.0), #4 (5.0), #5 (6.5, only four graded higher), #6 (4.0), and Negro Heroes #2 (1.5). Total: 7 books
