The Next "Big Cards"

Also, the Jackie Robinson Exhibit card was issued 1949 or earlier.

Goldin and PSA are both wrong this photo was shot on 7/2/49 so it’s impossible that it appeared in 1947 or 1948. I believe some of the original Bond Bread cards were issued into the early 1950s. https://rmyauctions.com/bids/bidplace?itemid=52265

Then I think Ted Z would like to have a word with you...

A complete and utter technicality that has no bearing on anything (and perhaps everyone already knows it), but I wanted to point out that the photograph is not the picture on the card. If you look at the white of Robinson's sock disappearing into the ump, and the position of his hat flying away, you can see there is a split second time difference there.

And now we return you to your regular programming...

Good catch Mike - That calls into question the dating of the issue!

I think you may want to take a second look at that Goldin description. It notes the set was issued over a 3 year period. The portrait card is tied to 1947 and was issued first.
