Dwarfing the other cards in Topps' 1959 football issue is the rookie card of all-time great Jim Brown, with a splendid chance to score a mid-grade example here. It was both a formidable college career at Syracuse for "Jimmy" (All-American and all-around letterman) and a terrific start to his pro career, with Brown earning NFL outstanding rookie honors and pacing Cleveland to the title the season prior to cards like this being issued. No one (rookie or other) gained more yards rushing or scored more touchdowns in 1957 than the Browns' fullback, who led the league in rushing in eight of his nine seasons and who The Sporting News in 2002 named the greatest pro football player ever. Examined and encapsulated by PSA some years ago and assessed as an EX-MT 6 example, this one will be a cornerstone to a vintage gridiron/RC collection. Scratches/scuffs to the PSA holder are to be aware of.
