Picked up this sweet 1947 Jackie Robinson from Stephen on the BST. I like to add little write-ups when possible to items on my site, with a little research (and borrowing!) I came up with this description:
Recognized as one of the two toughest Robinson pinbacks to locate, this example features Jackie in his Kansas City Monarchs Uniform from 1945. The Monarchs logo was removed from the photo and the team name "Dodgers" was later added to the pin. This pin is not only from Jackie's rookie year, it pre-dates his pins wearing a Dodger uniform.
If I'm off on anything feel free to add your two cents pinback experts! Thanks again Stephen and good luck on your quest!
Jeff
