Jackie Robinson Signature (PSA NM-MT 8 Auto)
A Jackie Robinson autograph is not only the signature of a wonderful Hall of Fame baseball player who helped the Brooklyn Dodgers to six pennants and the Dodgers' sole Brooklyn World's Championship, but also the signature of an American civil rights trailblazer who is undoubtedly one of the foremost human rights pioneers in history. Displayed is a cut Jackie Robinson signature, perhaps taken from a page of an autograph book. Because of baseball's unwritten "Color Line," Robinson broke the segregation barrier to Major League play for African Americans when he was already 28 years old. In his first Major League season, Robinson was a sensation. He hit .297 and led the National League in stolen bases (29) and sacrifice hits (28), and he helped the Dodgers to the pennant. Overall, he batted .311 in his ten years in the National League, all with Brooklyn, and he led the NL in batting in 1949 when he hit .342 and was named the Senior Circuit's MVP. Robinson was a 7-time All-Star, and after his retirement as a player he became even more active in the American Civil Rights movement. The Robinson signature is on a 2.5x4.5" section of a page, and Robinson signed in blue ink. An unknown person marked three sides of the autograph with lines with ink from a pen. Robinson's signature is neatly written. The cut signature has been encapsulated and PSA/DNA graded NM-MT 8.
