As Robinson’s first Topps card, this 1952 issue ranks alongside his ‘48 Leaf in stature – a stunning portrayal of one of the most important athletes of the 20th century. But that gorgeous imagery also can also make it difficult to find high-quality examples of the card. Like the rest of the ’52 Topps checklist, this Jackie rarely appears centered. And the bold red background is often faded and rates poorly from a color preservation perspective.
