1958 Topps #62 Jim Brown Rookie PSA 7 NM
NEAR-MINT BROWN ROOKIE!!! One of the gridiron's most iconic rookie cards is this sparkling 1958 Topps #62 marvel of the immortal Jim Brown. If you surveyed a myriad of football historians, most would concede that the immortal Jim Brown is the greatest running back in NFL history. The best of the best at his craft, Brown was virtually unstoppable, even with the best defenses keying on him for 60 minutes every Sunday afternoon. He ended his career with 12,312 rushing yards to the tune of a miraculous 5.2 yards per carry. The nine-time Pro Bowler captured three AP MVPs, three UPI MVPs, one NFL championship and the Rookie of the Year Award in 1957. The classic Jim Brown running pose reveals the immortal halfback carrying a football as he dons his legendary #32 Cleveland Browns jersey. Portraying stellar aesthetics, the surfaces are relatively clean, with some extremely faint snow (barely visible to the naked eye) scattered throughout the black background. The image does favor the right edge, with the four somewhat right-angled corners consistent with the grade. Tantamount to Brown's arguable stature as pro football's finest all-time runner, this eye-pleasing heirloom likewise resides as a bona fide keeper for any serious gridiron collection!
