Offered is the one of the finest '48 Leaf Sammy Baugh rookie cards in existence! "Slingin" Sammy Baugh was the quintessential quarterback during a time when the man at that position was unquestionably the leader of his team. His passing prowess is credited as revolutionizing the game, while historians of the sport still speak of his abilities with the utmost regard. The offered museum-quality specimen has masterfully translated the lively colors for which Leaf gum cards are known, resulting in this life-like artifact featuring an inaugural member into Football's Hall of Fame. The card's corners are naturally sharp, exhibiting only a hint of fuzz at the extreme tips, and its edges are impeccable. Exhibiting aesthetic qualities that are crisp, fresh and simply beautiful on both front and back, this phenomenal card could be a cornerstone item for any high-grade set or vintage card collection. Sure to please even the most stringent collector, it establishes a new standard to which all others will be measured. Incredible NM/MT condition, this is the one to own!
