Presented is one of the finest Jackie Robinson signed notes - because the Hall of Famer, a committed advocate for civil rights, wrote this note and signature on a letter to him from the foremost organization in the fight for racial civil rights at that time, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). The offering is an autograph and note from Jackie Robinson written on a bill that was dated Feb. 24, 1970, sent from the NAACP to Robinson for two tickets to the NAACP Sold on Soul tribute to Duke Ellington. The one-page letter asks Robinson to submit $200 for two tickets to the "NAACP/Sold on Soul: A Royal Tribute to Duke Ellington held at Madison Square Garden on Feb. 23, 1970, at 7:30 P.M." Robinson gives a handwritten response, written in gray graphite pencil on the lower half of the NAACP letter. Robinson writes, "I am returning the tickets you sent complimentary. I was, as I explained, out of town. Jackie Robinson." Both the text and Robinson's signature grade "9." After his retirement from baseball, Robinson did substantial work for the NAACP, and as noted in the letter, he was one of three honorary chairmen for the Sold on Soul event. The letter, at 8.75x11.25", shows two light horizontal and two vertical folds from mailing. As the first African American in the modern baseball era, Robinson was a trailblazer who played his entire Major League career (1947-56) with the Brooklyn Dodgers. In his initial Major League baseball campaign, Robinson was voted as the first National League Rookie of the Year. He batted .313 lifetime, stole 200 bases, and helped the Dodgers to six pennants, and the only Brooklyn Dodgers World Championship, in 1955. Robinson's effect had to be seen to be fully comprehended as his great baserunning intimidated the opposing teams and caused balks, errors, and numerous other misplays. Robinson's work for civil rights, both as a baseball player and as an advocate, was an important part of American history, and this signed Robinson note, so fittingly written on NAACP letterhead, is a valuable remembrance for his salutary effect on America. The signed Robinson note comes with a JSA and PSA Letters of Authenticity.
