The rarest of all of the Jackie Robinson pin-backs. This is only the second one that we have handled. Used as a promotional tool in 1947 by the Brooklyn Eagle newspaper, the wording states "Jackie Robinson Tells His Story In The Brooklyn Eagle." The pin has some cracks in the laminate coating, but otherwise is in VG condition with all the text and the central image of Robinson being clear.
