I think the Brooks is the most horrific second year card Topps ever porduced. Just a terrible photo after his nice rookie portrait.
Guys like Clemente, Koufax, Aaron, Banks, Kaline, Mays, Minoso, Mantle, Palmer have very nice looking rookies. Preference to the beholder, but I think the good examples are players who have ugly combo rookies like Ryan, Rose, Seaver, Carew, or cards with horrible photos.
