Just Collect Joins Collectors Showcase at Jackie Robinson Museum

Written by Monte Jennings | Nov 22, 2025 1:29:28 AM

Just Collect had the honor of showcasing our vintage cards at the Collectors Showcase in the Jackie Robinson Museum! Take a peek at our behind-the-scenes setup as we helped support the Jackie Robinson Foundation.

Jackie Robinson was a hero on and off the field. Breaking baseball's color barrier in 1947, Robinson endured things we could never imagine. Through it all, Robinson became on of the greatest baseball players to step onto the diamond! Starting with the Rookie of the Year in 1947, Jackie went on to win the NL MVP in 1949, and a World Series championship with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1955. The six-time All-Star was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962.

The Jackie Robinson Foundation held the Collectors Showcase at the Jackie Robinson Museum. Several panel discussions regarding vintage cards took place, artifacts and memorabilia were on display, and a raffle was held with proceeds going to the Jackie Robinson Foundation. A highlight of the event was the new Jackie Robinson-inspired mystery boxes. The mystery box has one graded card of a player who had a connection to Jackie. Graded Jackie Robinson cards were also possible. 

Just Collect is proud to have had our vintage cards on display! We are always traveling to buy and sell collections including The Philly Show and The National Sports Collectors Convention. Just Collect had iconic cards available for sale including multiple Babe Ruth cards! You can see a few of the 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth cards in our behind-the-scenes video here:

OUR BUYING PHILOSOPHY

We've run into a wide range of people and collections over the last 25 years. Although Just Collect is known for buying vintage sports cards and especially vintage baseball cards, we are also extremely interested in buying non-sports cards, too!  

Every collection and every collector is different and we treat EVERY collection with the respect and attention that we show for our own collections. We understand that many have put their heart and souls into building their collections. So when you're ready to sell, we understand the feelings that you're going through and will work with you to help you reach a decision that is a WIN/WIN, because if you're not happy, we're not happy.
