1954 Topps Jackie Robinson #10

My thinking here is as follows: the autograph is God Tier+. The centering and the scuff on his face are what take the eye appeal down to a B+, and if only one of those flaws was the case, we'd be deep into the A zone.

The auto and placement is worth the price of admission. Surface damage on his face along w/ the centering holds it back from A tier for me. Still a grail of grails.

Ooh that auto is powerful. The centering and facial scuff combine to knock overall eye appeal from the top tier yet no further. Mitigate one of those flaws and this soars into the top badges. That auto, man, wow.

This is one of the best Jackie autos I have seen on one of his cards, and that works its charms on me!

The surface wear on Jackie's face and centering are the two things I notice first which is a shame because it does have a nice auto.

the card and the auto needs to complement each other. Here they neither help or hurt. The card is has nice strong colors but the lines and paperloss on the card hurt the image. The borders are nice and bright but not centered and the sizes or off balanced. The autograph is clean and legible but is not well placed or bold. OVerall it is a good card/auto combo but its enjoyment is limited by its limitations
