There is enough evidence, as the Goldin description points out, that the cards were available in mostly every major American city and even Canada. If something is available in every major city it is nationally distributed in my opinion.

Not only that, the evidence Goldin cites shows that the portrait was first in 1947 but the next six cards were issued in 1948, BEFORE the Leaf card. So, there are seven different cards from this issue that absolutely predate the Leaf card. Then there are the rounded-corner set of 48 cards. That one also predates the 1949-issued Leaf card. Also, the Jackie Robinson Exhibit card was issued 1949 or earlier.

Reguardless of which card is his Rookie, we are talking about the next big card in this thread. Both the Leaf and the 1952 Topps are gaining much more quickly than the Bond Bread cards...likely because they are more widely recognized and key cards to multi-player sets.

Parade Sportive predates any of the ones just discussed.

I could see the 1953 Topps Jackie Robinson taking off, although I haven't been following unsigned ones too closely. Signed copies have gone through the roof lately, to the point where I would be priced out if I still needed one. It's a beautiful card, and #1 in the set.

Neither qualifies as the next big thing--already there.

Don't get me wrong, it is a beautiful, significant and important card...in any condition.

I'm with you too Adam. I think this is the sentiment of those that have one. Most likely the reason we don't see many hit the auction block. It would be interesting to see what prices would be if a handful did hit the market.

Nicer looking than the 1949 Leaf too.

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.
