Rare Jackie Robinson Rookie Card To Hit Auction, Could Fetch Over $400K!

A special piece of Jackie Robinson memorabilia is about to hit auction … and TMZ Sports has learned it could fetch over $400K!!

The 1948 Leaf card is regarded as Robinson’s true rookie card … and Heritage Auction has acquired one of only eight that has received a “superior assessment.”

The card has an image of Robinson wearing his Brooklyn Dodgers cap in front of a yellow background … and it’s graded a PSA NM-MT 8.

It also features Jackie’s bio on the back, including being the “First Negro player in modern organized baseball.”

The card will be available next week … and we’re told it’s estimated to go for over $400,000.

Of course this is not a surprise — Jackie is an icon for breaking the color barrier in baseball.

Over the course of his career, he won the World Series in 1955, earned six All-Star selections, an NL batting title, two NL stolen base titles, an NL MVP … the list goes on.

His No. 42 jersey was retired by the MLB and he has been honored in many ways, including a statue at Dodger Stadium.

That said, any rare memorabilia of Robinson’s comes with a hefty price tag.

Just look at this game-used bat from the 1955 World Series … which Ken Goldin, CEO of Goldin Auctions, describes as “priceless.”
