Description
A marvelous tribute to a recently departed legend...
1958 Topps Jim Brown Rookie #62 PSA NM-MT 8. "Make sure when
anyone tackles you he remembers how much it hurts," Brown once
advised fellow Syracuse alumnus John Mackey. The legendary running
back--may he rest in peace--might not have been the most elusive
rusher who ever suited up in the NFL, but he was famous for being
the toughest to bring to the ground, his bone-rattling style
averaging an outrageous 5.2 yards per carry. He claimed the NFL
rushing title in all but one of his nine seasons in the League, and
his 1,863 rushing yards in 1963 remains a Cleveland Browns record,
the oldest franchise rushing record of all thirty-two teams.Brown was the sixth selection in the 1957 NFL draft, but it wasn't until 1958 that the Topps company officially welcomed the iconic running back to the league, allowing for a celebration of Brown's Rookie of the Year honor in text on verso. This is a particularly tough card to locate in elite condition, but the common flaws with registration are absent here, and centering is far better than average, supplying eye-appeal in keeping with its lofty assessment. Graded PSA NM-MT 8.
