Thank you kindly, Brian. I know this thread is on the card side of the board, but I can't resist. So many great pieces of history shared by all on this thread.

Win some; lose some. Jackie, Hodges, and Branca trudge off the field with Thomson's "Shot Heard 'Round the World" still ringing in their ears.

I collect integration-related items, so Jackie Robinson is obviously the player who is front and center. Always looking for more relevant items.

Here are a few items from the collection:

• 1935 Muir High School signed yearbook (sig on the left side of the top image)
• 1937 Pasadena Junior College signed yearbook
• 1946 Montreal Royals team signed baseball (Jackie's only season in the Minors)
• 1947 Dodgers team signed baseball (rookie season)
• 1949 Jackie Robinson All-Stars Program (standard program for the series)
• 1949 Jackie Robinson All-Stars vs Creoles' All-Stars (program for particular game)
• Negro League signed baseball with Jackie and others (likely from 1953 JR All-Stars Barnstorming Tour)
• 1950 Jackie Robinson All-Stars Broadside
