Graded MINT 9 by PSA. Hall of Famer, in his Rookie Card appearance. Among more than 3,000 copies recorded in PSA’s census reporting, just eight examples (less than one-fourth of one percent of the total population) have attained this top-level tier, and none has been graded higher. From the 1957 Topps issue's scarcer "High Number" series comes this first view of nascent gridiron 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. Here is one of the most desirable of all vintage football cards, and likely the most valuable of all from the post-war era. An always sought-after, debut-year collectible, in brilliant Mint condition.
