HIGHEST GRADED DOAK!!! The #1 subject of any mainstream set continues to remain the toughest card to locate in high-grade condition, with this PSA 8 NM-MT 1950 Bowman Football #1 Doak Walker sharing the best of the rest spotlight with eighteen other examples! Any set's #1 card was typically placed on top of the stack, thus subjected to surface flaws resulting from the card being directly exposed to various types of damage.
