Graded NM 7 by PSA. Superb original unopened cello pack of 1957 Topps football featuring the key rookie card of Hall of Famer Johnny Unitas on the back. Hall of Famer Hugh McElhenny (#95) is on top. This is the only example (cello with Unitas rookie showing on back) ever graded by PSA! (Please note there are two packs with Unitas rookies showing on top in PSA's population report). The pack remains tightly sealed. All of the corners have tiny tears. The 1957 Topps set also includes the rookie cards of Bart Starr, Paul Hornung, and Raymond Berry, and many other Hall of Famers including Dick Lane, Tom McDonald, and Lenny Moore. This is a very desirable unopened pack that would be at home in a high-quality collection of 1957 Topps, Johnny Unitas, or unopened material. Opening Bid $2,000.
