Why cant any jackie robinson cards play 1st base?
-
I watched 42 last night and when he got called up the brooklyn dodgers he was made to play at 1st Base because they had a really good 2nd base and Pee Wee Reese at SS
So i figured surely he'd had a 1st base position on at least one card
-
I'm fairly certain every Jackie card ever released other than the 88 LF jackie which is currently the only Jackie card has had 1B secondary
-
There will be more cards released. He usually has 2-3 that can play 1B by the end of the year.
Recommend “Baseball” by Ken Burns next if you get an itch to learn more history.

I just cant remember his cards having a 1B , maybe cause his defense is good so he'd be wasted at 1b

It made his card valuable as a bench guy because you could pinch run him for your firstbasemen (who are almost always super slow) and not have to worry abouting using another sub to play first.

The Ken Burns series is fantastic! We have it on VHS but should probably get it on DVD too.

His 99 last year very much played 1st base

Pretty sure his old gold card was a primary 1b

His rookie card was a primary 1B, the other cards had 1b as a secondary except one,the 1955 card(usu AS series) which he was primary LF.
