Collectors who perhaps played the "What if" game can grab a piece of rewritten history with this banner designed as a 1951 Bowman Jackie Robinson baseball card, as he was one of several stars that season whose images were not released in the set, including Stan Musial, Joe DiMaggio and Ralph Kiner (for reasons unknown). Noted baseball artist Arthur K. Miller designed this Robinson banner as he imagined his card might have looked like. It was created in mixed media on raw canvas, and was 'antiqued' on both front and back. Measuring 40x26", it is titled, dated 2014, and signed on the reverse.
