Robinson Jackie
Jackie Robinson Signed Photograph.
Rare black and white photograph signed by the first African American to play in Major League Baseball in the modern era Jackie Robinson. Inscribed by the baseball legend in the bottom left corner of the photograph "To John best wishes Jackie Robinson." In near fine condition. The photograph measures 7 inches by 8.25 inches. Double matted and framed. Photographs signed by Robinson are scarce. "Probably no other athlete has had a greater sociological impact on American sport than did Robinson. His success on the baseball field opened the door to black baseball players and thereby transformed the game. He also helped to facilitate the acceptance of black athletes in other professional sports particularly basketball and football. His influence spread beyond the realm of sport as he emerged in the late 1940s and 1950s as an important national symbol of the virtue of racial integration in all aspects of American life" ANB. unknown books

1950 Jackie Robinson and Brooklyn Dodgers Team Signed Baseball.
Rare Official National League baseball signed by 31 members of the 1950 Brooklyn Dodgers. Signed by Jackie Robinson Roy Campanella Duke Snider Gil Hodges Jim Romano Carl Furillo Dan Bankhead Pee Wee Reese and more. The signatures of Burt Shotton Bobby Morgan Milt Stock Billy Loes Gil Hodges and Carl Erskine have been deemed clubhouse versions. In near fine condition. Housed in a custom acrylic display case. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from PSA. From the collection of Steve Forbes. In the 1950 season Jackie Robinson remained both a central athletic force and a symbolic cornerstone of the Brooklyn Dodgers as the club solidified its post-integration identity. Robinson’s performance that year—batting .328 with 14 home runs and 81 RBIs—underscored his continued status as an elite all-around player who combined power average and competitive intensity. His contributions were embedded within a broader team surge defined by standout feats from teammates such as Duke Snider’s 22-game hitting streak and Gil Hodges’s historic four-home-run game on August 31. unknown

1952 Jackie Robinson and Brooklyn Dodgers Team Signed Baseball.
Rare Official National League baseball signed by 25 members of the 1950 Brooklyn Dodgers. Signed by Jackie Robinson Roy Campanella Gil Hodges Andy Pafko Carol Erskine Ralph Branca and George Pfister. The signatures of Chuck Dressen Pee Wee Reese Dick Williams Duke Snider Billy Loes and Preacher Roe have been deemed clubhouse versions. In fine condition. Housed in a custom acrylic display case. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from PSA. From the collection of Steve Forbes. The 1952 Brooklyn Dodgers combined athletic dominance with cultural significance and Jackie Robinson remained central to both dimensions of the team’s identity. That season Brooklyn captured the National League pennant finishing four games ahead of the New York Giants and showcased the league’s most formidable offense leading the majors in home runs behind sluggers Gil Hodges 32 Roy Campanella 22 and Duke Snider 21. Within this high-powered lineup Robinson continued to embody the club’s dynamism contributing speed on-base skill and competitive intensity while also forming productive ties with newer teammates such as Andy Pafko with whom he shared close on-field synergy each scoring 19 runs. Although the Dodgers ultimately fell to the Yankees in a seven-game World Series the 1952 campaign stands as a vivid example of Robinson’s ongoing role in sustaining Brooklyn’s excellence during the peak “Boys of Summer†era. unknown

1956 Jackie Robinson and Brooklyn Dodgers Team Signed Baseball.
Rare Official National League baseball signed by 22 members of the 1956 Brooklyn Dodgers. Signed by Jackie Robinson in his last season a rookie Don Drysdale Roy Campanella in his second to last season Pee Wee Reese Gil Hodges Carl Furillo Don Newcombe Jim Gilliam Walter Alston and more. The signatures of Charlie Neal Duke Snider Sandy Amoros and Sandy Koufax have been deemed clubhouse versions. In fine condition. Housed in a custom acrylic display case. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from PSA. From the collection of Steve Forbes. The 1956 Brooklyn Dodgers season marked the closing chapter of Jackie Robinson’s storied tenure with the club as Brooklyn once again asserted its dominance in the National League. That year the Dodgers edged out the Milwaukee Braves to capture the NL title demonstrating the resilience of the “Boys of Summer†core in a fiercely competitive late-1950s pennant race. In the World Series rematch against the New York Yankees Brooklyn pushed the contest to seven games but ultimately fell short underscoring both the enduring rivalry and the narrowing margins between the two teams. For Robinson 1956 thus stands as a final emblem of his dual legacy: a veteran leader still contributing to championship-level baseball and a transformative figure whose decade with Brooklyn had permanently altered the social and athletic landscape of the sport. unknown

Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from JSA. Rare and desirable signed and inscribed. "Probably no other athlete has had a greater sociological impact on American sport than did Robinson. His success on the baseball field opened the door to black baseball players and thereby transformed the game. He also helped to facilitate the acceptance of black athletes in other professional sports particularly basketball and football. His influence spread beyond the realm of sport as he emerged in the late 1940s and 1950s as an important national symbol of the virtue of racial integration in all aspects of American life†ANB.

Robinson, Jackie; Duke Snider; Clyde King
Jackie Robinson Duke Snider and Clyde King Signed Baseball.
Rare Lively Center official baseball signed by legends Jackie Robinson Duke Snider and Clyde King. In very good condition. Housed in a custom acrylic display case. Jackie Robinson Duke Snider and Clyde King are linked through the Brooklyn Dodgers organization at the precise moment it was becoming both a baseball powerhouse and a symbol of social change. Robinson who integrated Major League Baseball in 1947 and remained a core Dodger through the mid-1950s helped define the club’s identity with his elite play and historic presence while Snider emerged alongside him as the team’s premier slugging center fielder and clubhouse ally during the early integration years. Clyde King a Dodger pitcher whose career included multiple Brooklyn stints and whose later decades in baseball made him a notable long-service figure overlapped with Robinson in the Dodgers’ wartime-to-postwar transition and is documented as having played with him. Taken together the three represent different layers of the same celebrated Dodger era: Robinson as the transformational star and civil-rights pioneer Snider as the iconic Hall of Fame teammate who helped power the club’s “Boys of Summer†ascendancy and King as part of the supporting pitching cast within that shared Brooklyn milieu. unknown

ROBSON, Stuart (1836-1903)
Autograph Quotation Signed
This American actor was one half of a celebrated comedy team with William H. Crane that toured between 1877 and 1889. AQS 1p 6" X 2" n.p. 1881. Near fine. In Robson's handsome script in bold brown ink he pens: "'Shall we not laugh my masters' / -- Shakespeare. / Affirmatively answered by / Yours Very Truly / Stuart Robson / 1881." Appropriate quotation from a comedic actor -- unfortunately Shakespeare never wrote any such line. Likely Robson is badly misquoting a line from "The Merchant of Venice" Act III Scene I: "If you prick us do we not bleed if you tickle us do we not laugh if you poison us do we not die and if you wrong us shall we not revenge unknown
