While the 1957 Topps football series is highly collected for its array of superstars and bold colors, it's the rookie cards of Unitas, Hornung and Starr that power its popularity. Since we're offering the debut pasteboards of Starr and Johnny U, let's complete the trifecta with this world-class example of Hall of Famer Paul Hornung. The incessant Packers favorite was the #1 overall pick in the 1957 NFL Draft after winning the Heisman trophy in 1956. His NFL resume includes two Pro Bowl appearances and four league championships en route to his enshrinement in Canton. This spectacular piece is graded PSA 9 MINT, matched by just 10 others with none graded higher. Near-perfect centering and vibrant colors, framed by MINT to GEM MINT endpoints and complemented by spotless surfaces, places is at or near the top of all specimens in existence. Once part of the prestigious "FIGHT4OLDDC" collection, one of the hobby's most elite assemblages, it is now available to raise the status of any exulted collection.
