Jackie Robinson "mania" continues to run rampart throughout the hobby and why not! No one would argue that one of our Nation's most iconic moments ever was when the immortal Jackie Robinson broke the Major League's color barrier in 1947, courtesy of the unbridled courage portrayed by both Robinson and the Brooklyn Dodgers legendary General Manager Branch Rickey. That monumental occurrence changed not only baseball forever, but more significantly a racially driven country that unknowingly thirsted for such and epic occurrence to discourage a myriad of American's from the senseless bigotry that ruled a majority of their lives. It is with no surprise that Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson's collectibles continue to skyrocket every day, with this surge taking off right after his historic "42" box office smash was released and opened the floodgates to an already lucrative Jackie Robinson collectibles market.
