Very nice 1948 First Edition copy of Brooklyn Dodgers Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson's autobiography "My Own Story" signed by Robinson on the inside front cover in bold blue ink. Book contains numerous black and white photos of Robinson inside. This copy apparently came from the Lincoln High School library according to the stamp inside. There are a couple blue stamps indicating the book was checked out by student in 1948 and 1949. It is rare to find one of these with its original orange dust jacket included and this one is in fairly decent EX condition. It should be noted that we sold a signed copy (ungraded) with its dust jacket in lesser condition for $6355 in 2016. Full LOA from PSA/DNA with NM-MT 8 grade for the autograph.
