While not a baseball card per se, this 1947 picture pack photo of Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson is nonetheless highly prized for its incredible image quality, and since it's from the 1947 season, it is among the first issues ever produced of the pioneering legend. After proving himself with a .349 batting average and 40 stolen bases for the minor league Montreal affiliate, Robinson got the call to the "Big Apple" as the man who would break the longstanding color barrier of major league baseball. The corners show some mild wear commensurate with the grade, and with less than 50 having been graded by PSA, makes it one of the most difficult pieces in the Jackie Robinson library.
