Robinson's Leaf RC is the 2nd most important post war baseball card after the 1952 Topps Mantle. The last PSA 7 sold for 79k. The last PSA 8 sold for 400k. It doesn't matter if it is ugly, the 1952 Topps Mantle is uglier and that didn't stop someone from paying over 5 million for one. Both are iconic and the choices of the majority of collectors. That is what drives the price.

I know all that; I still think it is ugly. I happen to think the 1952 T Mantle is a nice looking card. Not as nice as the Bowman, but nice.
