JACKIE ROBINSON | 1948 LEAF 79 | PSA AA: AUTHENTIC ALTERED

PSA Graded Card - Certification #63129527 - Grade: AA: AUTHENTIC ALTERED

This iconic card is the 1948 Leaf Jackie Robinson rookie card, #79 in the set and Robinon's most famous and valuable card. The design features a head-and-shoulders portrait of Jackie Robinson with a bright yellow background, a blue Brooklyn Dodgers cap displaying the letter 'B,' and his name in a bold black strip at the bottom. The card uses a striking, simple, early post-war print style with vibrant primary colors and a coarse halftone effect typical of the Leaf set. Centering and print quality on these cards are usually variable, and the example shown is authenticated by PSA as 'Authentic Altered,' indicating some restoration, trimming, recoloring, or other alteration. The borders are thin, and print defects or registration issues are common for this issue. Robinson, who broke Major League Baseball's color barrier, debuted with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947, making this rookie card hugely significant in hobby history. There are no refractors, parallels, autographed, or insert versions of this card; it is prized for its basic but bold presentation and historical significance.
