Terry Bradshaw led the Pittsburgh Steelers to back-to-back Super Bowl titles twice in just six years (1974-1975 and 1978-1979). He won every Super Bowl he played in, passing for 932 yards and 9 TDs in his combined appearances, both of which were records at the time of his retirement. He was Pittsburgh perfection: a tough guy who could take hits and give them back, a true field commander who called his own plays throughout his career. His style of play would come to define the Pittsburgh dynasty, and his championship success would eventually lead him into the booth, and beyond (far beyond; he remains the only NFL player to receive his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame). Offered here is a borderline GEM MINT example of his celebrated 1971 Topps rookie card. Strong MINT to GEM MINT corners join impressively near pristine edges around a perfectly centered and noticeably bold image of the NFL icon. Easily the finest of the scant 15 PSA MINT 9s in existence that we've been privileged to see over the years, and very sincerely recommended.
