49 Leaf Jackie differences

This thread needs cards. I suppose this is a bright yellow example. I like the centering and borders but can't say I thought much about the color. Here's mine:

I think it's the coolest, most striking, iconic card of the 20th century. Almost Warhol-esque.

I've seen people on the board opine that it's ugly. Classic example "to each his own" I suppose.

I once had 5 Leaf Gene Hermanskis and they were all different colors. Don't know why I got rid of that. Was so cool.

I think the Ted Williams is aesthetically one of if not the best card out there. The only problem is with how poor Leaf�s printing process was it difficult to find an example with a clean image.

.

I go back and forth on it. Sometimes it strikes me as stunning. Other times as hideous. Still can�t really decide, but I can definitely see both sides to the argument.

Nice card George

Dean/Zach: Thanks for the feedback. At one time I had a PSA 5 and an SGC 5.5, but neither of them could compete with this one, in my judgement. I was very happy when I was able to "upgrade" to this one and dispose of the other two.

Apologies for running this thread off track .
I have a nosy habit of looking up other peoples cards on PSA - I was curious why Jackie was only a two thinking there is back damage - The back�s beautiful just very light hints of aging

I was just trying to spruce up the thread a bit, but yes, the back is probably a little nicer than the front:

Looks like a perfect example of a 3.5
