Outstanding Eye Appeal! Graded GOOD 2 by PSA. The offered 1948 Leaf #79 Jackie Robinson rookie card presents at the zenith of its overall technical grade! This stunning portrait of the inspirational figure is accurately centered with only moderate, but even corner wear. No.42's portrait is absent of any print lines common to the issue and the canary yellow color scheme is vibrant with flawless registration. The back, which records Robinson as the "First Negro player in modern organized baseball," displays only a couple of traces of reverse wax staining. A true collecting cornerstone that would not appear out of place in a higher graded holder. Opening Bid $2,500.
