1957 Topps #138 Johnny Unitas Rookie HOF Colts PSA 6 *620742

Offered for your consideration is a 1957 Topps #138 Johnny Unitas rookie card that has been authenticated and conservatively graded PSA 6 EX/MT by Professional Sports Authenticators.

Unitas, considered one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game was known for his flat-top, crew-cut hair style, his black, high-top football cleats and his never ending rainstorm of touchdown passes. Unitas is featured on his inaugural Topps appearance smiling broadly with his youthful grin and in his classic, drop back quarterback passing post. Highlighted by bold colors and clear registration and focus, the centering has a slight shift to the left, but still falls within the parameters of a Near Mint card. The corners present as NM/MT with sharp, distinct points at all four corners and only the slightest hint of wear showing. The only issue that we can find that seems to be keeping this beauty from a PSA 7 NM or better holder is the light snow that appears in the dark purple jersey on the portrait side of the card.

The reverse is well centered and presents as nice as or better than the obverse. This would be a fantastic addition to most collections and it would be tough to find a nicer example in this grade.

Combined shipping discounts available. The first card starts at $4.00 and $1.00 for each additional card with a max of $15.00. Please wait for a final invoice on Monday morning.
