This lot features a 1997 Jackie Robinson 50th Anniversary Collector’s Edition Wheaties cereal box produced by General Mills.

The reverse side contains a biographical tribute titled Jackie Robinson with historical photographs and text detailing his career and legacy. The box is housed in a custom-built wooden display case, constructed of oak, featuring clear protective panels on the front and back to allow for full viewing of the cereal box.
