Graded MINT 9 by PSA. Highest graded example! Stunning ultra-high-grade 1949 Bowman card of Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson. This is one of Robinson’s most striking and popular cards and one of the great classics of all postwar bubble-gum cards. 1949 Bowmans have always posed a problem for condition-minded collectors. In addition to the many normal problems encountered with this issue (excessive toning, general wear from fragile paper stock, soft corners, centering issues, and print lines), collectors also have to deal with the wildly varying degrees of print quality that characterize the set. It is easy to see why 1949 Bowmans are one of the most difficult of all issues to collect in high grade. The offered card boasts brilliant colors, outstanding registration, sharp corners, and excellent centering. Clean reverse. This is a tremendous example of one of Robinson’s classic cards, worthy of the finest 1949 Bowman set, Jackie Robinson, or classic-card collection. Opening Bid $100,000.
