The 1948 Leaf Jackie Robinson #79 is the mainstream rookie card representing the Hall of Famer who broke Major League Baseball's modern color barrier in 1947. Graded PSA 7 Near Mint, this example exhibits vivid yellow field printing and crisp visual contrast across the portrait imagery. PSA reports a population of 78 copies evaluated at this grade level. This is an investment-grade baseball card.
Issued by the Leaf Gum Company in Chicago, the 1948–49 Leaf baseball set remains a benchmark post-war production, recognized for its heavy card stock, colorized photographic portraits, and skip-numbered checklist. Robinson earned 1947 NL Rookie of the Year honors, won the 1949 NL MVP award, led Brooklyn to the 1955 World Series title, and entered the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962.Show more
