(LOT 368)
1950 Bowman Football #6 Lou Groza Rookie Card (PSA Gem Mint 10) – "1 of 2" Gem Mint 10 Examples!

This miraculous PSA Gem Mint 10 Lou Groza 1950 Bowman Rookie Card shares the spotlight with only a single other specimen as the finest of its kind! PSA's prestigious population report only list two Lou Groza #6 Gem Mint 10 examples that synonymous with Groza's NFL achievements, places this museum worthy offering as one of the most significant cardboard icons. Nicknamed "The Toe", Hall of Fame place-kicker and offensive tackle Lou Groza played a remarkable 21 seasons with the Cleveland Browns from 1946 – 1967, skipping only the 1960 campaign for personal reasons. The 9x All-Pro kicker set many early kicking records and was one of the inaugural successful place-kickers at kicking field goals beyond 50 yards.

He claimed eight championships in his illustrious career (4 AAFC & 4 NFL), won the 1954 NFL MVP Award and was selected as a member of the NFL's 50th Anniversary All-Time team. His impressive list of accomplishments are similar to the breathtaking aesthetics of this "1 of 2" rarity that exhibits near-perfect centering between four absolutely dazzling white borders. Additional world-class qualities include a classic kicking pose depicting bright/sparkling hues as Groza showcases his legendary #46 jersey, immaculate-like surfaces and pristine/razor sharp right-angled corners. All of these "pack-fresh" attributes soundly support the near-impossible Gem Mint 10 assessment that places this 70-year old offering as one of the most significant 1950's grid-iron rookie cards on the planet!
