I don't like the 54T with the cut off cap.

Not a fan of drawn images on cards that are this "modern", and this one is very amateurish. This sort of thing made more sense in an earlier era, when photographic reproductions weren't as cost-effective. If I appreciated such drawings, I'd collect comic books.

Right, but isn't that the intent of these cards, to channel the look of older cards? I always assumed it was.

Leaf.

The sin of the Doubleheader is that the head doesn’t look like Jackie.

The sin of the Leaf is that it is hideous. I’d cast a vote that it is among the most overvalued cards in the hobby too.

White folks didn't get black folks skin color correct on cards until 52-53, even into 56 they couldn't get it right, 56 Mays has always reminded me of a bad rendition of Al Jolson. The folks at Bowman got it right in 51.

But, it looks a lot better when our resident artist takes it on:
