I think the bigger question is ‘Why are Doby’s cards so underpriced, especially compared to Jackie?’ They came into MLB the same year in their respective leagues. They were both great players, yet Doby’s cards are not priced much above a common.

Jackie was officially the first though then came Doby. Jackie in the NL and Doby in the AL.

From what I have seen lately, decent looking Doby cards have been receiving a premium, at least with his 52 Topps cards. I purchased mine back in 2016 I believe, and have seen a fairly decent increase in the last year or 2. Not Jackie type increases mind you but his card definitely sells for more than a common.

Doby was 2nd; Jackie was first. Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

Well, Tenzing Norgay (the Babe Ruth of sherpas) was there with 'Eddie,' so who knows which of them actually summited first??

Because he wasn’t as good as Jackie Robinson.

One of the most quoted movies of all time, at least in our house by my teenage boys.

Their career stats might tell a different story.

Default Larry Doby
In 1947, Larry had only 32 At Bats. The following year when Satchell Paige joined the Indians, Doby played in 121 games (BA = .301).
He batted .318 in the World Series.
I think he was overshadowed by Paige's enormous popularity back then.

Does Larry have any cards that aren't great looking?

I picked this one up recently, and have always loved the balanced shot. Topps did a great job with the layout...
