I myself thought of the Leaf as the *the* Jackie card until I read about the BB. It came out earlier, is harder to find, and IMO looks as nice if not nicer. That makes it the best card to me.

I get the scarcity factor. I love the rare and obscure myself (not saying the Bond Bread is rare or obscure).
There are numerous Mickey Mantle cards that are scarce or obscure, yet they are not the 1952 Topps. The Robinson Leaf card will always be iconic, even though it is not a rare card by any stretch of the imagination.
I still think being black and white hurts the Bond Bread card.
