Almost 40,000 cards from Topps' inaugural 1955 All-American football set have been graded by PSA and just 48 have earned a perfect score of GEM MINT. That's impressive enough if you happen to have one, but what if that card portrays what many people think is the greatest football innovator of all time? Legendary football coach Knute Rockne, credited for bringing the forward pass to the forefront of the game and designing strategies that are still employed today, is one of the feature issues of the All-American set, and the offered card is one of just 4 to earn PSA's highest grade. As one would imagine, the centering is dead perfect, with a bone white frame surrounding the detailed image of Rockne, supported by a deep red inner frame and a strong black and white classic gridiron image. Each corner redefines the meaning of perfection, absolutely squared to the very tip as if it was just cut at the Topps factory and directly placed in the PSA holder. This beauty belongs in a world-class collection, proudly flaunting its greatness at or near the top of any PSA Set Registry collection.
