Jackie Robinson Day!

 Mid week has arrived, and skipping out on Wacky Wednesday tonight. No worries they'll be back next week. Also ignoring TAX DAY too. these days most people have filed already and probably a little bit happier this year than in recent years.


I thought for a change this year that I would scan the pages in My Jackie Robinson binder rather than the usual annual "42" tribute cards that I typically show. Now, this isn't all of the Jackie cards that I have as there are several more that are part of set builds and unless they are a dupe won't be in the PC binder. Currently I sit at #9 on TCDB with 259 total (223 in binder). With that said, Greg (NO) is at #3 with 425, and GCRL at #2 with 507. Time to sit back and enjoy the Jackie show.



































































In case you are wondering the two orange cards have different backs (one red one yellow).





The Swell is a reprint of the 48' (I wish it was an original one :)



Pretty sure this is my oldest Jackie card, sad I know. Then again it seems like I do have something of his in my Topps set builds from the 50's or 60's. Guess I need to flip through those binders again.






These are the oversize versions.





Happy Jackie Robinson Day! One heck of a ball player!

  1. Wow, that is a lot of 42s! Fantastic variety. The Twins lost. Oh well. Enjoy the hobby all!

  2. Fun to scroll through the scans and see the cards.
    I’ve got to look for those ones of him in the KC Monarchs uniform for my Negro League card binder.
    Thanks for sharing.

  4. Is that patch a game used one? Always wanted one from a game used jersey in 1998.
