1949 Bowman Jackie Robinson #50

When the red is rich like that I lean in. The wear does not impact much.

Eye Appeal is high to me, only centering jumps out, the corner wear more peeks out at me.

Definitely shows some wear but still a good looking card.

The image of Jackie is crisp and the color is nice and bold. Centering and a bit of surface wear are my main notes.

Image and color look good. Centering is a little off top to bottom, and the corner and surface wear keep this just below A tier.

Centering is OK but can be improved. Same for corners and a bit of specks on the borders but overall it presents very well.

When the image is focused and the red has no blemishes, as long as the centering is not a "wild pitch" I sit in the solid B zone. A good looking Jackie and for me the level of corner wear that can still land in the A- badge without hesitation.

It is a nice card and meets many of the basics but does fall short. The borders are decent sized and the centering is ok but the borders show signs of wear and discoloration. The colors are actually the best part but the surface wear on the card including an annoying spot below the R in Dodgers is something I cannot get past.

Really nice card for the grade. Decently centered, no wrinkles, and the blue in the hat doesn't bleed past the hat. Corners are soft, hence the grade. Nice card.
