Museum-worthy relics such as this game-used Brooklyn Dodgers uniform worn by the great Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson are a rarity and cause for special celebration. This incredible home jersey was worn during the 1951 season. Just four years prior, Robinson broke baseball's color barrier by becoming the first African American to play in the Major League.

Robinson's game-used jerseys are the pinnacle of the collection hobby, which makes them the most desirable to obtain. Only a handful of Robinson jerseys have ever been sold at auction, which shows how rare and difficult they are to find. This offered jersey is one of those rarities and Robinson wore this very cream-colored flannel beauty during the 1951 season—a memorable season for New York's National League teams, the Giants and Dodgers, who staged an epic duel to close out the regular season for the right to go to the World Series as National League champions.

The trials Robinson endured in the 1940s and 1950s are unmatched in the sport to this very day. He is easily one of the most famous baseball players to have ever played the game, making this jersey highly sought after and an item that every museum in the country would want to display.
