(LOT 1219)
Run of 356 Different Cleveland Brown Different Cards from 1959-1989 - All PSA-Graded

CLEVELAND BROWNS!!! One of the NFL's greatest franchises, the Cleveland Browns have been around since 1945. Named after original coach and co-founder Paul Brown, the Browns dominated the AAFC, compiling a 47-4-3 record in the league's four seasons and winning its championship in each of those first four years. When the AAFC folded after the 1949 season, the Browns joined the NFL along with the San Francisco 49ers and the original Baltimore Colts. The Browns won a championship in 1950, as well as in the 1954, 1955, and 1964 seasons, and were always a threat with Jim Brown in the backfield starting in 1958. When the AFL and NFL merged just before the 1970 season, Cleveland became part of the new AFC. While the Browns made it back to the playoffs in 1971 and 1972, they struggled the rest of the '70s. In 1979 Brian Sipe engineered a series of last-minute wins and the Browns came to be called the "Kardiac Kids".

In 1985 the Browns drafted Bernie Kosar who led the team to three AFC Championship games in the late 1980s. In 1995 Art Modell tried to moved the Browns to Baltimore, where they became the Ravens, but Cleveland retained the rights to the colors, logos and heritage. The Browns were reactivated in 1999 under new ownership. They struggled throughout the 2000s and 2010s, posting a record of 101-234-1 (.302) since their 1999 return. The last 12 years have seen the Browns the Playoffs in 2002 & 2020, but there's still hope for them by long time fans for the future! The offered Cleveland Brown collection consists of 356 different high-grade cards all by PSA from 1959 thru 1989. Loaded with legends including: Lou Groza, Bobby Mitchell, Paul Warfield, Leroy Kelly, Brian Sipe, Bernie Kosar, Clay Matthews, Ozzie Newsome and more, this assortment of Cleveland Brown cards is high on the PSA Registry list.
