1953 Topps #1, Jackie Robinson ⭐️ MLB Pioneer
This is the first Jackie Robinson that I ever bought.
I bought it raw off a well-known card dealer on the other platform for $300.
At the time, that was the most I had ever paid for a card and I was so excited that I could hardly contain myself.
Years later, I sent it to PSA to safeguard for me and my son.
I love the image and design of this Jackie card as much as any.
All Jackie's cards are special and hold an historical place in the hobby.

IMO, this is one of the greatest images you will find on a baseball card.
This MLB Pioneer started his professional baseball career in the Negro League in 1938 with the Newark Eagles.
An American hero and member of The Greatest Generation, he served as a Sergeant in the U.S. Army during World War II, enlisting in 1942. He spent three years with the 1313th Engineer General Service Regiment, and fought in combat at the Battle of the Bulge.
Monte broke the color barrier with the NY Giants on July 8, 1949, along with Hank Thompson.

Every collection has cards that automatically bring a smile to your face.
This is one of those cards for me.
When I got back into the hobby I desperately wanted a mainstream playing days Jackie Robinson card and this is one that drew me in like a moth to a flame.🔥
I bought it raw and sent it to PSA years later.

I love this card. Jackie began his professional baseball career with the Kansas City Monarchs before joining the Dodgers organization.
I bought this card raw and sent it to PSA for grading where it was placed in a 1.5 holder.
I think it looks much better than "Fair".
