Lot Essay

Sheet of Brooklyn Dodgers "Dodgertown" stationary from their Vero Beach Spring Training facility bearing a handwritten letter which is signed, "Sincerely Jackie Robinson." Exceptional content reads in part, "Nice to hear what you said about Negro Athletes Dick but you must realize that is not true. We stick out because we are few but there are just as many really outstanding stars in all races. One other thing Dick there are many good Negroes that happen not to be ball players also." These are significant statements written by the hand of Robinson who was then a face of the civil rights movement. Typical mailing folds and a touch of light toning and other handling wear. Authenticated and encapsulated by PSA with the autograph graded PSA/DNA 9 Mint: Mint
