In demand RCs aren't always great lookers-- Nolan Ryan, Steve Carlton, Paul Molitor, Joe Morgan, Pete Rose, Mike Schmidt, Carlton Fisk. In fact, the Jackson might be better looking that all of those.
It's interesting that the most popular Post-War player (Mantle) may have what is the best looking rookie card (51 Bowman). Yankee fans always get the breaks.
