1953 Topps Jackie Robinson

Creases, near paper loss and tape marks, this 1953 Jackie Robinson has a lot going for it (or should I say not going for it).

But it's still Jackie Robinson.

As a kid, I always wanted a Jackie Robinson baseball card. Today, I've got a few. But no matter what the condition, I always enjoy reading the backs of his cards.

Robinson is one of those players every kid should have. 

He along with Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, Hank Aaron and Ted Williams are icons of the game.
