Graded NM/MT 8 by PSA. Perhaps one of the most identifiable cards in the entire 1952 Topps issue is the card of the iconic Jackie Robinson. The featured card provides the enthusiast a glimpse into the past with a nearly perfectly set of four corners as the building blocks to this NM/MT pillar. Each of the corners stand at attention with an almost regal formation of 90 degree angles that could easily be interrupted as far greater than the opined level. The surface is a smashing delight of stunning original gloss that holds captive a nearly three dimensional image of the man who is viewed as much for his leadership in race as for his skills on the diamond. A bountiful captivating red surrounds the central image with an intensity rarely encountered upon a pasteboard while dark flesh tones of the subjects face as well as the royal blue of his Dodger cap stand out like a beacon. The centering although most assuredly shifted to the bottom edge is lessened in importance when contrasted against the many attributes of the collectible. The reverse displays wonderfully with a perfectly struck deep black inked biography set upon a slate gray stock. A tremendous card offered in PSA opined NM/MT condition.
