Jackie Robinson’s Top Cards
1967 Topps Venezuelan #184 Jackie Robinson
By 1967, Robinson was more than a decade into retirement. That didn’t stop the production of his cards. He was featured in the Venezuelan version in 1967 Topps, which featured a subset with 50 retired players. The pioneer actually wasn’t in the American version, but nonetheless, this is an extremely rare card.
1950 Bowman #22 Jackie Robinson
The 1950 Bowman #22 Jackie Robinson card is a true work of art. With its vibrant hand-drawn design capturing Robinson’s legendary stature and charisma, the 1950 Bowman #22 Jackie Robinson is like a mini-masterpiece for baseball fans. And get this: it’s so hot in the collector’s market that a PSA 9 of this bad boy went for a whopping $117,000! That’s enough to make any collector’s jaw drop faster than a fly ball in center field.
1956 Topps #30 Jackie Robinson
After the 1956 season, Robinson hung up the cleats, leaving a legacy that forever changed baseball and helped push society forward. The 1947 NL Rookie of the Year did so with a lifetime batting average over .300, a residency in the All-Star Game and an NL MVP. The 1956 Topps #30 Jackie Robinson is Robinson’s last Topps card as an active player —salute to a legendary human.
1954 Topps #10 Jackie Robinson
We’re fans of both the background and the action shot used in the 1954 Topps #10 Jackie Robinson. The 1954 season was no. 42’s 35-year-old campaign and last All-Star season.
1952 Berk Ross Jackie Robinson
The 1952 Berk Ross Jackie Robinson shows off the Hall of Famer’s hops and knack for making plays in the field. By no means is this an in-game shot. But it does give the illusion of one of the greatest baseball players robbing a line drive.
