Important Notice: Please note that the format of this auction differs from a traditional eBay Live auction in that only absentee bids are accepted. There is no live "bidding on the close" in which to participate. All lots offered in this auction will close at exactly the same time, as opposed to a traditional one at a time closing of lots, and therefore there is no live "one lot at a time" bidding close in which to participate. Your left bids will compete with all other left bids by auction participants. Bids may be placed on the eBay system at any time prior to 9:00 PM EST, May 1, 2004. No bids will be recognized or accepted when the eBay Live "live bidding applet" is run early in the morning of May 2, 2004 strictly for the purpose of officially registering and recording the final auction results.

The very best of all Jackie Robinson pennants, this multicolor souvenir pennant features Jackie Robinson in a batting pose with the caption "Jackie Robinson 1st Base" across his chest. To the right of the illustration, the pennant reads "Brooklyn Dodgers" in white block lettering. This is widely recognized as the most desirable of all Robinson pennants not just because of its appealing design and rarity, but also because it can be dated to 1947 as that is the only year Robinson played first base for the Dodgers. An exceptional and very significant Jackie Robinson display piece dating from his historic first year in the major leagues. Length: 28 inches. The pennant exhibits some minor general wear and has a small "bite" as shown at the tip, but has an overall Excellent appearance. Reserve $800. Estimate $1,500/$2,500.
