1971 Topps #156 Terry Bradshaw Rookie PSA 9 MINT
MINT BRADSHAW ROOKIE!!! Tantamount to Terry Bradshaw's stature as one of Pro Football's greatest all-time quarterbacks is this extraordinary 1971 Topps #156 Bradshaw Rookie that has miraculously achieved the hallowed PSA 9 MINT grade, bested by a meager three PSA examples! This Steeler Hall of Famer stands as one of the finest signal callers to ever grace a football field, with the iconic Bradshaw winning four Super Bowls in a six-year period (1974-1979), claiming two Super Bowl MVPs, and also boasting a 1978 NFL MVP Award. His representation on this 1971 gem borders on sheer perfection, starting with the virtually pristine Bradshaw image revealing the finest possible resolution. One of the most defining post-1970 football cards, it was issued within the somewhat tougher second series (checklist #133- 263) of the Topps ultra-popular 263-subject set.

It's no secret that the colorful borders make it extremely difficult to find any mint examples, let alone one representing the inaugural card of the immortal Terry Bradshaw. This offering's vibrant red borders have miraculously eluded any notable wear, stubbornly defying the past 53 years in retaining its original pack-fresh state. Near-perfect centering only revealing the slightest partiality towards the left edge, a razor-sharp perimeter, pinpoint corner tips, and near-immaculate surfaces all combine to substantiate the scarce MINT assessment. Museum-worthy to say the least, it proudly resides as an unequivocal testament to Bradshaw's relentless will to win, with this Steel City signal caller the peerless leader of a Pittsburgh team considered the greatest of them all!
