The former player and manager of those feisty Orioles and Brooklyn Robins is depicted here on this extremely rare 19th century tobacco issue. Wilbert “Uncle Robbie” Robinson was elected to the HOF in 1945. This gorgeous specimen was produced 58 years earlier to promote Kalamazoo Bats brand of cigarettes. Card appears EX-MT but has a crease from L-R on verso. Stunning example.
