The 1949 Bowman Larry Doby card is a key piece of baseball history. As the first African American player in the American League, Doby’s impact on the game was significant, and this card is among his earliest. The card features a straightforward design with a portrait of Doby swinging a bat, typical of Bowman’s post-war style. It represents an important moment in baseball’s integration, highlighting Doby’s contributions to breaking racial barriers. While not as widely recognized as Jackie Robinson, Doby’s achievements are vital to the sport’s history. This example appears to have even corner wear, but free of any creasing. A very eye appealing example even with the lower grade.
