1957 Topps #138 Johnny Unitas Rookie PSA 7 NM
For many years, the incomparable Baltimore Colts Hall of Fame quarterback Johnny Unitas was considered the uncontested owner of the title "greatest quarterback ever". This honor was bestowed upon him primarily due to his countless passing records including most lifetime touchdowns and passing yardage. While more recent stars such as Marino, Favre, Montana, Manning, Brady and Brees have eclipsed many of his records, many historians still regard Unitas as one of the foremost all-time quarterbacks, largely in part to his unparalleled leadership ability.

Therefore, it comes as little surprise that "Gridiron" collectors continue to painstakingly pursue his hallowed 1957 Topps rookie card in superior condition. This PSA 7 Near-Mint offering a sensational candidate for any esteemed collection, and along with its obvious "pack-fresh" image quality, the most notable superlative is the fine centering, with this issue typically plagued by skewed images. Synonymous with his arguable standing as one of Pro-Football's all-time signal callers is this aesthetically pleasing Near-Mint Unitas memento that has defied 65 years of potential wear!
