I'll go again if that's allowed. It would be silly to downplay what Jackie went through/did, but we need to remember he didn't exactly integrate baseball. Jackie integrated the National League. The immediate emergence of a second elite black player (and Campy, etc.), quickly cemented the progress Jackie started.

great choice. one of the first cards i got when i was getting back into the hobby was the '51 bowman doby. the image to me is utterly beautiful. i don't know if there's a card in that set that surpasses the power of that 51 doby to me.
