Description
1957 Topps Bart Starr #119 PSA NM-MT 8 - Only Three Higher. Despite a surname that suggested a bright future, Starr had been the 200th selection in the 1956 NFL draft, taken in the seventeenth round largely as a personal favor to the basketball coach at Starr's Alabama alma mater, a friend of Packers personnel director Jack Vainisi. Though the young QB would show flashes of greatness in his earliest seasons at Lambeau, Starr would only earn the full-time starting role with the arrival of legendary coach Vince Lombardi in 1959, bringing about the greatest era of professional football dominance in NFL history. Starr led his Green Bay Packers to glory five times, including victories in the first two editions of the Super Bowl. He remains one of the greatest living veterans of professional football, an essential soldier in the war that has supplanted baseball as the nation's most popular sport.Much like the man whose NFL arrival it heralds, the presented trading card encounters few superiors. Graded PSA NM-MT 8. The grade leaves us little to report in an examination of condition beyond lofty superlatives. We can say that visual enjoyment surpasses impressive technical assessment.
