1952 Topps Jackie Robinson #312

The thin pen signature has difficulty popping off of the speckled background.

The scuffing on Jackie’s face is really what hurts this one. The auto has god tier eye appeal. Love the use of ball point and the flowing cursive is stunning. Centering and other issues could be mitigated by such a great auto but the scuffing distracts.

Even run over by a truck, I want this card.

The autograph looks really good (placement is a little to high on the face) but the paper loss and discoloration is really distracting and the image is lacking as a result. Plus the corner wear is big issue

The auto is rather appealing on this one, yet the fading on his face is too much to look past, for me. Could easily let the centering go on a signed '52T Jackie, were the fading not so extreme.
