Show Me Some Jackie Robinson Stuff

Saw Cavs guard Darius Garland wearing this on the bench during a game the other day. Couldn't figure out what the "10cents" refers to. Was the image lifted from an obscure card maybe?

I recently purchased a postcard of Minnie Minoso that I thought, once received, would also have the lines like yours. I was thinking, as I don't know much about exhibits or postcards, it was just some sort of variation or something.

It still pains me to know there was a member here sometime ago who had one for sale for $30 dollars.
I drug my heels and it was gone about a week or so later.

A couple ended on GM cards within the last month and, IIRC, they went for around $400 and $600.

The one I saw at auction was in a lot of exhibits. I had the money, but was I bidding on another item and I wasn't sure what the the final price would be. The auction was set up to where 50 or so lots all closed at the same time. My desired lot closed for a very reasonable price, but then I had no time to bid on the Jackie. So I missed out.

We've reached the point now where ten cents can't even buy a ten cent stamp anymore.
Whoa! I think I just blew my own mind.

Hard to wrap my head around the fact that kids once pulled brand new '52 Topps high numbers out of wax packs for a nickel late in the summer of the year I first collected cards.

I forgot I even had this card, and always thought it was an odd one. It seems to depict the cartoonified Robinson making a throw from second base in 1947, when we know he only played first base his rookie year.
