1947 Brooklyn Dodgers 12" x 19.75" Type I Photo PSA/DNA $3500

[rand1com]

Extremely rare 1947 Brooklyn Dodgers team photo measuring 12" x 19.75" featuring a rookie named Jackie Robinson.

This large Type I photo was issued to players, coaches, and team officials.

I submitted this photo to PSA/DNA and it was returned with a full LOA certifying it to be a Type I photo.

It is in rough condition as shown but to find one is nearly impossible. It holds great significance as it depicts the first African American to be pictured on a MLB team.

Only one other has been found in numerous searches and it dates to a 2005 Leland's auction that was an autographed version and sold for $13K 20 years ago.

Here is the Ebay item number to see the pictures. #116890129111.

It is listed there for $5K which I think is very fair but I offer it here for $4K.



PM with your email address for pics if you would like but the Ebay ones show the item pretty well.

$4000 PPFF with free shipping. (Reduced to $3500)

Great photo. Good luck!

An often overlooked, or unknown, fact...The gentleman in-front of Jackie (one row down, one person to our left) is Dan Bankhead, the first African American Pitcher in MLB history. He came up in August of 1947. Further adding to the specialness of 1947, and this photo.

Great insight. I definitely did not notice him and had forgotten about his late addition to the team in ‘47.
