Graded MINT 9 by BVG. Hall of Famer, in his debut gum card appearance. Among nearly 500 examples recorded in BVG's census reporting, just one specimen has achieved this outstanding tier. (Of additional significance, fewer than five percent of '57 Unitas cards holdered by BVG merit assessment at BVG NM-MT 8 or higher.) From the 1957 Topps issue's scarcer "high number" series comes this first view of eventual Canton-honored greatness. The spectacular collectible capitalizes on intense, almost glowing, orange and green background hues for its extraordinary visual impact. Its corners are impeccable in their shape, and there are no wax traces to interfere with the presentation of the boldly inked back. An always sought-after rookie card of the Baltimore Colts' legendary quarterback, in brilliant Mint condition.
