Description: Roy Campanella was a groundbreaking catcher for the Dodgers, joining them one year after Jackie Robinson. He was a perennial All-Star and MVP in the MLB and prior to that, an All-Star and Batting Champion in the Negro League. He was part of the World Series-winning Dodgers team in 1955 and his uniform number is retired by the Dodgers. He is also a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame. Bowman and Topps were the two primary manufacturers of trading cards in the 50s. Baseball card collecting was a high-growth industry captivating fans of the sport. The post-WWII era in baseball was dominated by the Yankees, Dodgers, and the occasional showing by the Indians and Giants. In 1950, the “Whiz Kids” of the Philadelphia Phillies faced the Yankees in the World Series. This graded card of the Dodgers’ Campanella is a beautiful example of this era's cards and can be had for a very reasonable price compared to more highly-graded versions. It will make an excellent addition to a collection of vintage baseball cards. Please review very carefully the detailed pictures of the front and back of the card as this will be the exact card you receive upon purchase. Look at the pictures, compare to comparably listed cards and make your own determination. Prior to grading, this card was long-term stored inside a ziplock bag in a smoke-free home with no previous owners. !!!
