Great card. Looks better in the black slab though in my opinion.
HOF SIGNED FOOTBALL RCS
Have to be honest, card looks exactly the same. I’d suggest an MBA sticker to spice it up.
Serious note, that card is gorgeous, and iconic.
Crossing to a PSA grade seems to be lower than the SGC grade by 1/2 to 1 grade. Personally….I prefer to have my cards in PSA holders….despite the nice contrast of the black holder with the yellow background on the 1948 Leaf Jackie Robinson Rookie card.
My last 3 SGC cracks, submitted to PSA each went up by .5
2 T206 minor HOF'ers each increased from SGC 2.5 to PSA 3 . A 1924 Aguilitas moved from 1.5 to 2.0
Buy the card, not the flip!!!! unless a CGC slab, then simply walk away

Mine was not cracked out. It is best when crossing to crack out…but I did not want to risk damaging an iconic card when cracking out.
yep --
even though same parent ownership my guess at very least unconscious bias remains strong amongst the graders. They still want to show they are better than SGC.
I guess in 1-2-3 more years that might not be the case?
BTW odds of damaging low grade pre 1925 card on a careful crack out as I did is unlikely, but I agree - why risk it on a 1948 Leaf mid-grade Jackie

No debate in my mind, that card looks beautiful in that holder. Tight and sweet! Nice catch.
looks great Monte! An iconic card indeed.
