1986 Topps #161 Jerry Rice Rookie PSA 9 MINT
MINT RICE ROOKIE!!! 49ers coach Bill Walsh reportedly sought Rice after watching highlights of Rice the Saturday night before San Francisco was to play the Houston Oilers on October 21, 1984. On draft day (April 30, 1985), the 49ers traded its first two picks for New England's first-round choice, the 16th selection overall (the teams also swapped third-round picks as part of the deal), and selected Rice before, as some report, the Cowboys were intending to pick him. Rice was prized more highly by the USFL, as he was the #2 pick overall in that short-lived league's 1985 draft. The Greatest receiver to ever put on the pads, this Rookie card of Jerry Rice from 1986 is offered in a PSA 9 MINT holder!!! PACK FRESH BEAUTY!!!
