Show Me Some Jackie Robinson Stuff

I'd posted images of this photo card of Jackie Robinson once or twice before on this board, and asked if anyone knew anything about it, as I have not been able to find any information on this issue. I haven't received any feedback so I'm posting again in hopes that someone might know something about it's origins. It has a blank back but with writing on it that I attribute to the previous owner.

I showed this card earlier in the thread. It is very likely a fan mail response card from around 1949-1950. Very tough card to find.

Thanks Adam. I thought I had poured through every Jackie Robinson image and post on the board before posting my question, but am embarrassed to have missed your post.

So have you ever tried to have your card graded? Mine would likely come back as Fair or worse, but yours is spectacular!

I never have; I am not sure which TPG would accept these. Anyhow, I'm not a grading guy unless I am trying to sell. Just looks better in a mylar sleeve in my Jackie Robinson album (well, a few pages of an album). But if you get one of them to slab yours, please let me know. Any Jackie is a good one, even a beater, and I should know:

LOL, you're right! A Robinson in any condition is a keeper!
(I also probably won't get mine graded; I've only submitted a handful of items for TPG to this point, and only 1 has been a card)
