Graded NM+ 7.5 by PSA. Outstanding example of #17 Mike Ditka (Chicago Bears), one of the key Hall of Famer rookie cards from the 1962 Topps Football series, one of the most popular football-card issues of the 1960s. The 1962 Topps football set is particularly difficult to collect in high grade, as the black flush-to-the-border design of the set makes them particularly susceptible to corner and edge wear. The offered card is bright, crisp, and clean, with four sharp corners, bold colors, near-perfect centering, and no wear to the condition-sensitive black borders. Clean reverse. This is a very attractive high-grade example that would be a worthy addition of any top-quality 1962 Topps football set or Hall of Fame rookie-card collection. Reserve $300. Estimate $500+.
