Yes, this is the same Jackie Jensen that appears in full gridiron regalia on the 1948 Leaf football card offered elsewhere in this auction. The star halfback from the University of California elected to pursue a career on the diamond after signing with the Oakland Oaks of the PCL. Pictured on the front of this ’52 Bowman card as a New York Yankee, his image appears in splendorous detail against multiple shades of green in the background, centered to near perfection amid solid MINT corners and edges. This is one of just 3 examples graded 96 MINT 9 by SGC with none higher on their pop report.
