been looking to add one myself. Weird dynamic against the '48 Leaf. The '47 is the true rookie, better photo, much more aesthetically pleasing overall in my opinion - but much less popular and I've never really pegged why

Thank you! I agree with you on all your points , but after seeing how the portraits have been out pricing the 48 leaf feels like the hobby is getting on board with bonds bread |

A 49 Leaf Jackie Robinson rookie card recently sold for 336k. I would say the Leaf is out pricing all of Jackie's other cards.

I don't think there's any question the Leaf card is far more valuable, and THE premiere Jackie issue, I've really just wondered about the "why"

Just 36 hours ago, I didn't know I needed this for my Dots Miller collection because I didn't know it existed. Thanks to some negotiating and overnight shipping, it now resides in the collection.

It is his Rookie Card, at least one of two along with the 1949 Bowman. It is also a very visually appealing card with brilliant colors. I also think the confusion of when it was issued, which Beckett listing it as a 48-49 card, drew collectors to it over a 49 Bowman which some incorrectly believed was issued a year later. The Bond Bread card is a black and white card, which are not popular with collectors, a regional, not a rookie card, and was unknown to a large portion of the hobby when collectors started persuing rookie cards. The Leaf became very popular in the 80s and that popularity continues today.
