Graded GEM MT 10 by PSA. Hall of Famer, presented in his debut-year gum card appearance. Among nearly 4,000 copies recorded in PSA's census reporting, just three examples have been placed at this supreme tier. The difficulty inherent in locating a 1971 Topps football card in such a top-quality state of preservation cannot be overemphasized. For an issue barely five decades old, this would seem, on its surface, to be a surprising situation. One look at the physical details of the offered Terry Bradshaw rookie card, however, reinforces this particular item's exceptional nature. Those oh-so-sensitive, full-bleed borders are essentially flawless on this copy. As the "key" card in the 1971 set (from its somewhat more difficult run of high numbers), this gorgeous piece is an especially desirable Rookie Card collectible. A standard-bearer example – one of just three in the world of its caliber – in exquisite Gem Mint condition.
