1951 Bowman Football #34 Sammy Baugh (PSA Gem Mint 10) – The SOLE PSA Gem Mint 10 Example!
The immortal grid-iron Hall of Famer Sammy Baugh just might reside as the "Babe Ruth of professional football." Ruth both pitched and hit at a pinnacle level, dominating the game like no other player ever has from the batter's box and pitching rubber. Likewise, "Slingin Sammy" as he was commonly called, was the best player of his time at three positions, those being quarterback, defensive back, and punter. When he retired, Sammy held 13 different records at those three positions, two of which still stand today including most passing titles with 6 (tied with Steve Young), and the most seasons (5) with the lowest interception percentage. He won two championships (1937 in his rookie season and 1942), was a 1963 charter member of Pro-Football's Hall of Fame, and once intercepted 4 passes and threw 4 touchdown passes in the same game against the Detroit Lions!

These are just a handful of reasons why serious collectors actively seek Baugh's prized artifacts, with none possibly more impressive than this breathtaking 1951 Bowman #34 marvel that stands as the SOLE PSA Gem Mint 10 example! Indeed folks, PSA has encapsulated over 420 '51 Bowman Sammy Baugh subjects with this miraculous offering sufficing as the only hallowed PSA 10. Sammy Baugh's classic quarterback throwing pose is near immaculate as the immortal signal caller is about to toss another one of his long TD passes. Depicting near-perfect centering between four dazzling white borders, the image's crystal-clear clarity is highlighted by a sparkling array of Washington's burgundy and gold team hues, with the classic Indian insignia situated near the upper right quadrant. Blistering sharp corner tips and impeccable surfaces are the final compliments for one of the finest looking vintage football cards you will ever come across. Our utmost compliments to the individuals that somehow managed to preserve this card in its original factory issued state for the past 69 years since it is clearly obvious that this museum worthy masterpiece doesn't show a trace of wear, more than substantiating its pinnacle "1 of 1" PSA Gem Mint 10 assessment!
