Help With Jackie Robinson Postcard

[EYECOLLECTVINTAGE]

Judging by the photo stock this paper seems to be 50's or 60's. I have seen a few floating around on eBay recently of other players like paige campy etc. my guess as a jackie guy would be a stadium souvenir or some type of giveaway. It's not a photo pack card for sure. Also it's not in the baseball card encyclopedia. Odd ball Jackie for sure with a value in my opinion of anywhere from $50-100 based on condition. Maybe less.

Thanks, Stephen. Always great to hear from a fellow Jackie and Brooklyn collector, especially one so young! I appreciate you looking looking it up in the baseball card encyclopedia for me. Its absence there leads me to believe that the card was a prototype of some sort. The card stock and photo gloss are the same as the 1948 Old Gold and 1950-56 J.J.K. Copy-Art I have handled. And the image is definitely first generation from the negative like those cards. Plus the Dodgers, Barney Stein (Dodgers' photographer), and the Jackie were pretty tight with licensing. I can't find another.

I live in Brooklyn. Where in NY do live? Would love to see your collection some time. I write a sports card and memorabilia column for Forbes. I have one coming up on collecting Brooklyn Dodgers high-end and low-end.

I have read quite a few of those articles, (they get posted here occasionally), and I have always enjoyed them.
Thank you!
