Graded 88 NM/MT 8 by SGC. Hall of Famer, in his Rookie Card appearance. Among nearly five hundred examples recorded in SGC's census reporting, just eight specimens have achieved a higher tier. A beloved collectible among gridiron enthusiasts, this notoriously condition-sensitive depiction of the legendary Baltimore Colts quarterback hails from the 1957 Topps issue's scarcer "high number" series. The offered specimen is spectacularly sharp in every respect, with apparently never-touched corners, notably well-calibrated centering and a bright, well-focused illustration. An elite example of this popular star's first gum card, in Near Mint to Mint condition.
