My Jackie Robinson Collection

After being inspired by Mike's vault post (and considering the fact that we are in Black History month), I wanted to share my collection with the rest of you for the first time. I just moved up to #3 on the PSA registry for the Jackie Robinson master set as well. I apologize in advance if I'm posting this in the wrong section!

Thanx for sharing Charley!
There are some cards I've never seen before. Thanks for sharing!!!
But I have promises to keep,

Any unopened Baseball cello and rack packs and boxes from the 1970's and early 1980s.
Nice stuff!

cpa - I'm a huge boiler fan. My father was a student there during the Mount years. It's awesome to see Moore and JJ doing well thus far this year!

Mike is Snoppy, Snoopy's brother?

My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

Shhh!!! No one is supposed to know, well except maybe Woodstock.
Yes, Purdue has always done well with Basketball. Of course, I was there during Keady's years with the Big Dog, woof, woof!!! How many times do I get to do that in a night.

<< <i>Charley Brown, I know this is out of your realm of collecting but Jackie Robinson is the only baseball player with his own U.S. Commemorative coin.

Ron, thanks for the post, how much does a coin like that go for?
<< <i>WOW! That stamp is a 6! What a jip. >>
I've thought about cracking and resubmitting the Eureka Sportstamp. I always thought it was undergraded as well.

haha nice. I remember those years very well. I have a 3x5 signed by the Big Dog from his playing days at Purdue somewhere around here.
<< <i>Nice to finally see your cards!
Awesome!

Thanks Jason! I posted a great pic on Facebook of my son hugging the Star-cal. He says his favorite player is "Jackie" haha - learning fast.

<< <i>Very, very nice. I have a couple of Jackie Robinson cards and I love them. To see a collection like yours is awesome.
Thank you so much for sharing.

Thanks guys!
PCGS coin prices lists the coin in MS-69 at $145. I bought this one last May for $85.00. I will PM you the site I found it.

Nice collection of cards.

to go along with
Super rare 1953 Canadian Exhibits Green Tint coming later this week!
1955 Bowman Raw complete with 90% Ex-NR or better
Now seeking 1949 Eureka Sportstamps...NM condition
Working on '78 Autographed set now 99.9% complete -
Working on '89 Topps autoed set now complete
...and it is FAN-FRIGGIN'-TASTIC!
Only an idiot would have a message board signature.
especially like the W571 exhibit size, and the uncommon D302s, very nice.
Its too bad PSA still havent pulled their heads out of that tight spot on the 1947 D305 (rounded corners) cards (idiots).... I guess you have to go the SGC way if you want that one graded.
PS Just wanted to point out PSA missed a few years, the Leaf card is a 1949 issue (all Leaf cards were issued in 1949 only, even though some have a 1948 copyright), and the Old Gold card is a 1947 issue (read the back)
I've yet to add an auto to my collection. Looking for a signed 8x10 eventually to add to my son's wall of HOF autoed photos.

The Bond Bread issues have some of the best action shots. That one is probably my favorite of them as well.
They are incredibly hard to find.

fkw, thanks! I wish they would grade the D305s as well - They aren't overly difficult to distinguish from the reprints imo.
Funny thing about the Leaf card... That was originally in a SGC 60 holder
You are right about the Old Gold card. Have you seen the other variation of the Old Gold (leaping version)? One of my favorite action shots of Jackie, and a tough card to find as well.
