That may be changing though as graded picture pack cards of other HOFers are starting to get some real attention. I count this Larry Doby card as my earliest card or collectible of his.

Here are Paige and Larry Doby from my 1948 Indians Team pack. I have several different Team picture packs from the late 1940's. Your picture appears different than mine.
Also, Larry Doby’s first game with Cleveland was July 10, 1947.
