Rookie Schmookie!
I have his 1956 Topps, but I have always liked his similar 1955 Topps card. I just like the 1955 design with the team logo seen on the 1955 card, and also prefer the non-outlined portrait seen in the 1955 card (outlining is big design no-no for me). The 1956 card does have a great Jackie slide depicted, though.
Ideally my favorite card would be a combination of the layout and design with non-outlined Jackie head of the 1955 card, with the sliding background image of the 1956 card.
Brian (neither of these 1955 and 1956 bad boys are mine, nor do I have the skills to create a fantasy card to my specifications)
