1946 JACKIE ROBINSON MONTREAL ROYALS ROOKIE PHOTOGRAPH (PSA/DNA TYPE I)

Outstanding posed original image dating to Robinson's rookie season with the Montreal Royals in 1946. Jackie is photographed standing in batting pose wearing full Montreal uniform with grandstands in the background. Clarity, contrast, and eye appeal are all noted at the highest level of quality with only a few minor surface wrinkles noted for accuracy. Typewritten identification on back, "Jackie Robinson 2B, Montreal Royals" along with a few handwritten notations and "SHOT-2nd" stamp. The majority of Robinson images in Montreal uniform are typically wire service photographs with low quality resolution with the offered photograph ranking as the finest we've encountered.
