The trading card market for the Jackie Robinsons of the other major sports leagues is an interesting one. Michael Salfino dives in.
Jackie Robinson is on the Mount Rushmore of the vintage card hobby. And it’s easy to see why — he was a great player and his societal impact in the United States transcended his sport when he broke through segregation in baseball in 1947. Lately, in the past five years, his cards have been strongly appreciating. Robinson’s 1954 Topps card is up 348% in a PSA 5 . His rookie card is up 414%. His 1953 Topps is up 700%.
You can get a PSA 5 now for about $500 and that’s up 400% since 2018. I think this card is a strong buy still. The last PSA 3, a very recent sale, sold for about 400% over 2018 prices. I think a PSA 5 1950 Motley, centered, is a legit $650 card in the foreseeable future. Among the first Black players to sign with the was Sweetwater Clifton, who was nicknamed Nat and came into the league in 1950; the same year as Earl Lloyd and Chuck Cooper .
