HIGHER GRADE 1959 TOPPS FOOTBALL JIM PARKER HOF ROOKIE CARD Colts AUTHENTIC

Description: UP FOR AUCTION IS THIS AUTHENTIC, ATTRACTIVE 1959 TOPPS FOOTBALL CARD #132 OF HALL OF FAME TACKLE JIM PARKER. IT IS HIS ROOKIE CARD. FOOTBALL CARDS FROM THIS ERA WERE PRINTED IN MUCH SMALLER AMOUNTS THAN BASEBALL CARDS. THIS EXAMPLE WAS SAFELY STORED AWAY FOR MANY YEARS IN MY LATE FATHER'S PERSONAL COLLECTION. JIM PARKER IS A MEMBER OF THE PRO FOOTBALL & COLLEGE FOOTBALL HALLS OF FAME AND THE NFL 75th & 100th ANNIVERSARY ALL-TIME TEAMS. JIM WAS CALLED THE BEST PURE PASS BLOCKER WHO EVER LIVED. THE SPORTING NEWS RANKED HIM #25 IN THEIR LIST OF THE TOP 100 PLAYERS EVER. PARKER WAS A UNANIMOUS ALL-AMERICAN, THE OHIO STATE TEAM MVP AND THE OUTLAND TROPHY WINNER (NATION'S TOP LINEMAN) IN 1956. A 9 TIME ALL PRO, THE COLTS RETIRED HIS UNIFORM #77. THIS 65 YEAR OLD ROOKIE CARD DISPLAYS STRONG ORIGINAL GLOSS, A CRISP SURFACE FEEL, FOCUSED COLOR AND BRIGHT WHITE BORDERS THAT COLLECTORS WANT. THREE CORNERS RANGE FROM A STRONG LOOK TO MILDER TYPE WEAR BY THE TIPS. THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER FOLLOWS UP WITH SOME STRESS WEAR AROUND THE TIP THAT WAS HARD TO NOTICE AT MY FIRST NORMAL GLANCE. TOP TO BOTTOM CENTERING IS BETTER THAN SIDE TO SIDE, OFTEN FOUND ON TOPPS CARDS. THE MAGIC ANSWER RUB OFF CARTOON ON THE BACK IS STILL UNRUBBED AS ORIGINALLY ISSUED AFTER ALL THESE YEARS. THERE ARE NO GUM STAINS ON THE BACK- ANOTHER BONUS. HALL OF FAME ROOKIE CARDS ARE A GOOD INVESTMENT. THIS EXAMPLE WOULD BE A GREAT ADDITION TO YOUR COLTS COLLECTION OR YOUR 1959 TOPPS FOOTBALL SET. IT IS LISTED IN MY OLD PRICE GUIDE AT $30.00 HIGH BOOK PRICE. YOU CAN BUY IT NOW FOR ONLY $9.99. TRACKED SHIPPING AND HANDLING FOR YOUR PROTECTION IS $4.99.
