1957 Topps #138 Johnny Unitas Rookie PSA 8 NM-MT
UNITAS PSA 8 ROOKIE!!! Hall of Famer Johnny Unitas will forever be considered one of the NFL's greatest QBs. While more recent stars such as Brady, Marino, Favre, Montana, and Manning have eclipsed many of his single-season and lifetime passing records, many historians still regard Unitas as one of football's foremost signal-callers, largely in part due to his unparalleled leadership ability. Gridiron collectors continue to pursue his hallowed 1957 Topps rookie card in high-grade condition, with this iconic 1957 Johnny Unitas PSA 8 NM-MT rookie only bested by eight PSA examples! The Unitas rookie is one of the hobby's most significant cardboard gems, along with other iconic cards such as the Nagurski, Brown, Namath and Brady inaugural issues. The dual image representation of the legendary quarterback is outstanding, with both poses set against rich orange and green hued backgrounds. The classic illustration exhibits near-perfect side-to-side centering, with the image somewhat favoring the upper edge. Both surfaces are near-immaculate, with a majority of the technical qualities consistent with a pack-fresh example. Indeed, this brilliant offering suffices as a grand opportunity to add Johnny U's rookie card to your world-class compilation!
