The 1948 Leaf Jackie Robinson #79 serves as the definitive rookie card for the Hall of Famer who broke Major League Baseball's modern color line with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Graded VG 3 by PSA, the card currently carries a population of 266 at this grade level. The card face retains its signature yellow backdrop and portrait composition beneath the blue Dodgers cap. This is an investment-grade card.
Issued by the Leaf Gum Company in the immediate post-war era, the 1948-49 set is notable for its thick grey card stock, condition-sensitive full-color presentation, and erratic skip-numbered distribution. The reverse narrative notes Robinson's 1947 Rookie of the Year selection and collegiate multi-sport career at UCLA, documenting the entry point of his career prior to his 1949 National League MVP selection, 1955 World Series title, and 1962 induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.Show more
