What an amazing piece of history to have in your collection. The original plaque given to Jackie Robinson when he was inducted to the baseball Hall of Fame. This is a grail piece of memorabilia for Jackie Robinson collectors. It’s now up for auction at Goldin. Current at $55k with 27 days remaining.

Huge flex from Patrick Ryan on IG today, sharing that he is the owner of two Jackie Robinson debut tickets. A PSA 3- the highest graded ticket from the event- and a PSA 2.

The eye appeal on the 2 is actually better than on the 3 (for me), but it could also have to do with the different PSA slabs.

An amazing piece of history (x2).

@EPonMantel excited to see you win this! 😜

1955 World Series. To this date, Yogi Berra swears Jackie was caught stealing when he stole home base in the World Series. It didn't matter in the end as the Yankees won the game, but this is why Type 1 photos are the bees knees.

This photo captures so much in one photo. Epic. It's up at REA (Robert Edwards Auction). I love the back of the photo that describes so much, which adds to why Type 1 Photos are so cool.

I know there are a lot of PiggyBanx collectors here (@BenchMob, @sweetpea, @papatre13 👀) and I’ve been TRYING to join the crew for a while but always missed the sales.

Finally last week I was on IG at the exact moment they posted a new card and it just happened to be of a legendary sports/US history figure (Jackie Robinson) who played for my all-time favorite sports team (Dodgers).

A sign from the cosmos!

Luckily my thumbs worked fast enough and I was able to swoop in and win the sale.

The piece is incredibly cool, much more substantial than I expected. And the packaging, from the box to the gloves, etc is spot on.

Really happy to finally add a piece, and so stoked that it’s one I’m so personally connected to.
