A popular gridiron classic from day one, the 1959 Topps football set is comprised of colorful cards that were issued in penny, nickel, and cello packs. High quality player photos over solid backgrounds of either yellow, green, turquoise blue, red-orange or hot pink, in addition to dozens of memorable Hall of Famers like Unitas, Brown, Starr, Gifford and Hornung and key rookie cards of Sam Huff, Alex Karras, Jerry Kramer, Bobby Mitchell, Jim Parker and Jim Taylor make it a quintessential set for any vintage football aficionado. The featured collection ranks #4 on the PSA Set Registry with a set rating of 9.125. All but 8 of the cards are graded PSA 9, with just #1 Unitas, 23 Starr, 24, 65 Conerly, 74, 90, 156 and 169 graded PSA 8. There are 45 cards that are the highest graded on record at PSA, including #20 Gifford, 86 Donovan, 147 Robustelli, 155 Taylor and 176 Tracy, the always difficult final card of the set. This collection is being offered as a complete set as well as each card offered individually, with the final sale going to whichever total (the set versus the sum of the individual lots) is higher. This gives prospective bidders the opportunity to examine each and every card in the collection through the use of our high-quality scans.
