Jackie Robinson – 1948 Leaf
Jackie Robinson is probably the most important athlete from the United States during the 20th century. He broke the color line in MLB, which had a lasting impact on sports history. He has been immortalized with this 1948 Leaf card. It is a coveted item in collector circles since it is scarce compared to his other cards from the ‘50s. Of course, the price also changes depending on its grade. In the spring of 2019, one with a grade of 8 sold for nearly $75,000.
