(LOT 485)
1950 Bowman #123 Buddy Young PSA 10 GEM MINT

YOUNG 10!!! A native of Chicago, he was Illinois state champ in the 100-yard dash. The 5'4" Young, also known as the "Bronze Bullet", had exceptional quickness and acceleration. He is one of the shortest men ever to play in the National Football League (NFL). As a track star at the University of Illinois, he won the National Collegiate Championships in the 100 and 220-yard dash, tied the world record for the 45 and 60-yard dashes (6.1 in the latter event), and was the Amateur Athletic Union's 100-meter champion. This card from 1950 is the one and only PSA 10 example in the hobby. Well centered, pinpoint corners with bold color and a strong reverse. Own the best copy in the hobby!!!
