I agree. It is not even close. Like the 1952 mantle, I find many(not all) who speak out against it and for earlier less desirable cards, don’t have one. Many times they purchased the less desirable/less expensive card and are simply promoting it the wrong way(trying to tear down the best one). The piece should always speak for itself. The bond bread has not in the past nor does it now imo. It does have the 1947 date(that’s it and that has always been the case). Attempting Re-write history seems to be a thing these days.
*I will add(many not relevant to many) the original images used for both the leaf and topps mantle are both rookie images in 1947 and 1951. I believe it would have a larger bearing if not the case.
The leaf is a beautiful piece of art. Unfortunately, the printing process used was not precise so many examples don’t do it justice. If they all look like this.. we would have an even more lopsided percentage.
