Graded NM-MT+ 8.5 by PSA. Hall of Famer, presented in his debut-year gum card appearance. Among more than 2,550 copies recorded in PSA’s census reporting, just twenty-three examples have been placed at a higher, unqualified 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 four 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 nearly 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. Near Mint to Mint-plus condition.
