Steal or Deal?Jackie Robinson style.

GriffeyFan · Oct 10, 2013

Well,I've been looking for a Jackie Robinson GU'd card.Browsing Ebay one night,I seen this pop up for $8 shipped..Add the Ebay bucks and I got this for free.I'd prefer if it was Jackie by himself,but I really couldn't gripe because the price.I noticed the same card with just the Morgan piece sold for $8,previously.Much more value,or not so much?Thanks guys. 222002

I've owned those before, and that set is always all over the place. I've seen the dual go from $15 and up. I've owned multiple of the Jackies solo and have paid from $10 to $24... so yeah, you did well. If you decided to resell it, you may not make a mint. I'd keep it, though. Nice card.

Definitely keeping,and already put it up in my display cabinet.Kind of a odd pairing,with him and Morgan...But 2 HOF's,and one's Jackie,for $8.I'll take em' all day.

Definitely. I search daily for that set and for Jackie so I surely would have jumped on it.

Why is it an odd pairing? They're both HOF second basemen, the best of each of their eras at their position.

GriffeyFan · Oct 10, 2013

Not necessarily odd,just two you don't hear of being compared all that often.

Very nice card!!!!!!!!!!!

Morgan is supremely underrated. Bill James' #1 all-time.

I think it's an odd pairing as well...

Odd pairing thinkers, who would be a better pairing?

Just curious.

I think Jackie is more associated with the Dodgers and desegregation than the specific position he played so I imagine something associated with those would be a more obvious pairing but certainly this pairing has merit IMO.

Jackie Robinson and Larry Doby

Pee Wee Reese,Larry Doby(I believe this exists in the set).

I think the set has something to do with rivals so Reese, a teammate, doesn't make sense. Doby an AL guy that played CF doesn't fit well either.

Um Doby was only the first African American in the American League lol... And the second African American to play in the MLBs behind him...

Yes, well aware.

I was speaking to the "rival" connection.
