Interesting Christmas card probably from 1956 with an oriental theme sent to Gil Hodges by another Brooklyn legend Jackie Robinson. Inside Robinson has written to Gil concerning his abrupt retirement from the Dodgers after the 1956 season. "Dear Gil It has been a pleasure being a teammate all these years. I hope you have continued success through the years. We expect the day but when it comes it still (is) shock but that's baseball. I hope it never comes to you. Give my best to the family. Sincerely Jackie Robinson". Very nice blue ink 7/10 Jackie Robinson signature. Postcard about EX on front with a couple of small stains at upper right edge. Great piece of Brooklyn Dodger history.
Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
