One of the most important of all vintage football cards, this rookie card of Hall of Famer Jim Brown carries a grade of VG 3 assigned by PSA. Still the only NFL running back to average 100 yards per game for an entire career, Jim Brown was truly in a class of his own. A star at Syracuse University, a bruising NFL back and a later career as an actor have propelled his 1958 Topps rookie card into the stratosphere.

The 1958 Football set in general is subject to wear thanks to its colorful inset background and this card, in black, does show a bit of it, with a vibrant image of Brown. This example exhibits corners, edges, and surface wear consistent with the grade. The centering is just slightly northwest on the front, with a still-bright reverse where the main detractor is some staining in the Football Fun scratch off area. Desirable in virtually any grade, this example is largely clean, with honest wear.
