It's true. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. He looks like a clown with a broken leg. It's grotesque.

If the card is not altered then why just the Authentic grade? I thought I read on here a short while ago that one can't just request an Authentic grade if the card is not altered/trimmed in some way?

I think the seller is just saying if it wasn't altered it would look like that grade...

Speaking of Brooks Robinson, I've never liked his 57 Topps rookie card either. Its just way too orange. The background is entirely orange sky, which seems to be reflecting off his face and making him look orange too. And the orange bird on his hat to top it off. That card needs more color other than orange!!!

I thought of posting that one as well but the 58 was such a no-brainer.
But I agree the photo of Brooks is fine, it's the coloring that hurts it.

Yes, I totally agree, the smile on his face is great. I just can't get over the orange though!

OsFan - I agree about the 69 Reggie too. With that one the colors in it just aren't strong enough.

Back in the early 90s I used to go to this outdoor flea market that was held on Sundays in the summer. There was this one dealer who put all his best cards for sale face up on the table. By the end of the summer all of his best cards were brutally sun faded and nobody bought from him anymore (yet for some reason he kept putting them out there in the sun every Sunday....)

A Reggie rookie card that is pack fresh looks like one of that guy's cards, the colors in the photo are so dull the card looks like its been left in the sun all summer.
