1940 Extremely rare photograph of UCLA football star Jackie Robinson as he busts through the line with the ball for a powerful run. Images of Robinson in UCLA uniform are extremely rare with this being one of the best we have handled. The Acme stamp on the back places this to 1947 (about 6.5 years after the original was snapped) when he made his major league baseball debut, so just slightly outside our window of five years for a "Vintage 1" but still within the same decade the original was taken. The quality is great and we can see a day when PSA loosens up their rigid standards and this finds it's way into a Type 1 holder. A tremendous value and an underrated aspect of Robinson's history.
