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 teamâs identity. That season, Brooklyn captured the National League pennant, finishing four games ahead of the New York Giants, and showcased the leagueâs 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 clubâs 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 Robinsonâs ongoing role in sustaining Brooklynâs excellence during the peak âBoys of Summerâ era.…

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 Robinsonâs 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 âBoys of Summerâ 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.…
