Worst Jackie Card Ever?

Leaf.

The sin of the Doubleheader is that the head doesn’t look like Jackie.

The sin of the Leaf is that it is hideous. I’d cast a vote that it is among the most overvalued cards in the hobby too.

OK we now need a reference point.

White folks didn't get black folks skin color correct on cards until 52-53, even into 56 they couldn't get it right, 56 Mays has always reminded me of a bad rendition of Al Jolson. The folks at Bowman got it right in 51.

The 53 Topps is my favorite Jackie as well. 55, 56, the Exhibit, and some of the Bonds are very nice images.

1948 Blue Tint, and in particular my own personal copy, which in person has the consistency of a piece of drift wood. And no, I did not soak it.

i love that card

Certainly subjective. I kind of love all of his cards, in particular 48 Leaf. $9 Bowman not far behind. If I had to pick my least favorite I suppose I'd go 54 Topps. If his image was a little smaller like the Mays it would be better. As it stands it definitely gives off a slight Al Jolson vibe.

In my opinion, the "worst" Jackie Robinson card is one into which the manufacturer embeds a sliver of game-used material.

I love the Jackie Leaf. In my pantheon of great cards.

The image is not bad itself but his 55 and 56 Topps Hocus Focus are not pretty cards. They are however his toughest Topps cards in my experience

[Carter08]

Have not seen the Hocus Pocus. Looks like the image from 53 topps.
