QUESTION
What are current sold prices for Jackie Robinson rookie cards?
I can’t confirm true sold prices from the provided source snippets—the prices shown appear to be current marketplace/listing prices, not verified completed-sale comps. Based on the available current price snippets, Jackie Robinson rookie/early-card pricing looks roughly like this:
| Card | Grade / condition shown | Price shown |
|---|---|---|
| 1948 Leaf Jackie Robinson #79 RC | PSA 5 EX | $65,000 |
| 1948 Leaf Jackie Robinson #79 RC | grade not clear | $7,250 |
| 1949 Bowman Jackie Robinson #50 | PSA 5 EX | $22,000 |
| 1949 Bowman Jackie Robinson #50 | SGC 1 / authenticated | $13,093.99–$14,901.52 |
| 1949 Bowman Jackie Robinson #50 | PSA 2 GD | $9,999 |
| 1949 Bowman Jackie Robinson #50 | SGC authenticated/authentic | $2,699.99 |
| 1947 Exhibits Jackie Robinson | PSA 4 VG-EX | $1,500 |
| 1948 Swell Sport Thrills Jackie Robinson | SGC 1.5 | $6,848 |
Best practical read: for the main Jackie Robinson rookie, the 1948 Leaf #79, prices vary dramatically by grade; a PSA 5 example is shown at $65k, while lower/unclear-grade examples can be far below that. For the 1949 Bowman #50, current shown prices range from about $2.7k to $22k, depending heavily on grade and whether it is numerically graded or just authenticated.
For actual sold prices, verify completed sales on sources that show closed transactions—eBay Sold/Completed, Heritage, Goldin, REA, PWCC/Fanatics Collect, or PSA APR—because asking prices can be much higher than realized sale prices.
