1958 Topps #62 Jim Brown Rookie PSA 5 EX
BROWN ROOKIE!!! Jim Brown is considered the greatest running back in NFL history and continues to rank among the top five greatest athletes of the 20th century. The Cleveland Browns took the Syracuse All-American with the sixth overall pick in the 1956 NFL Draft, inserting him into a backfield with QB Milt Plum and halfback Lew Carpenter. After, quite literally, "running away with" the NFL Rookie of the Year and MVP awards, Jim Brown destroyed all of the previous rushing records, breaking his own marks on multiple occasions. He left the NFL after only nine seasons as the record holder for both single-season (1,863 in 1963) and career rushing (12,312 yards), as well as the all-time leader in rushing TDs (106), total TDs (126), and all-purpose yards (15,549). This excellent mid-grade PSA EX 5 is a great example of his tough rookie card from 1958. Great corners and edging, clean surfaces and strong colors. Consider the back of the card is as attractive as the front, this is one to own!
