1953 Topps Jackie Robinson #1

I almost went with an A+ but the bottom right corner and centering that's pushed just a tad to the right hold it to an A. Beautiful copy.

Typical touched colored corner & fisheye in the name plate but well centered & strong print. Edit: this card is a 2?! Knowing that now I’d have rated this an A- Quite possibly the nicest 2 on the planet.

Great looking Jackie with slight toning and some corner action right where the eye goes (bottom right). These are so tough.

Image looks nice and clear and really stands out. Centering is a little off left to right with a slight tilt, but still decent. Corner and edge wear around the black box keep this just below A tier.

Really nice example. The details in his face pop, and the color is strong. Just the slightest tilt which holds it back from a higher A.

I have a hunch this is going to be one of those shocker grade reveals. Lower right and dot beneath the N in ROBINSON are all I got here.

This is a stellar copy. The centering, image, edges, and even the three white corners stand out as so pleasing. The print dot under his last name and the lower right corner are my only issues. Without that print dot, which my eye keeps drfiting back to, this is an A for me, and with less wear on the lower right it rises to the very top.

Love the colors and image. Mild toning and a bit of tilt are the only issues. A very pleasing clean card that presents so much better than the technical grade.

This card pleases; were there a small stack in the old card shop, I would see if one had better side to side centering, without the small print dot under his last name, yet would be very pleased with this card's beauty.

Like the overall look of the card and the image and colors are good. The opportunity lies in the borders and the Black Name/Team Box as the black is shows the wear and stands out more and the borders are stained/discolored but overall it blends into the card and not dramatically noticeable
