1949 Bowman #50 Jackie Robinson Rookie PSA 5 EX
JACKIE ROOKIE!!! "A life is not important except for the impact it has on other lives." - Jackie Robinson. No truer words were ever spoken by any iconic global personality than this ultra-inspiring phrase uttered by the immortal Jackie Robinson, and we can only begin to imagine the impact this PSA 5 EX 1949 Bowman rookie card will have on the most advanced rookie card or PSA Registered compilation! Legendary Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson's claim to fame will forever be his "breaking the Major League baseball color barrier" in 1947; a feat that arguably suffices as the most significant occurrence in baseball history.

True, but Robinson won an MVP award, led the Dodgers to six pennants and a 1955 World Championship, stole bases, hit for average/power, fielded his position flawlessly and was as fiery a competitor as the game has ever seen. Yet, for all of his stellar accomplishments, his place in baseball lore will forever be correlated with being the inaugural African-American to play Major League baseball. Jackie Robinson's influence on African-American baseball players is widely considered one of our National Pastime's most significant occurrences. Robinson's imposing portrait pose emanates crystal clear clarity, set against a robust red background. Strong corners and a clean verso that compliments the PSA 5 grade. Eye Popping JACKIE Rookie!
