Graded NM 7 by PSA. Extraordinary high-grade example of Hall of Famer Sid Luckman's rookie card from the 1948 Leaf football series, one of the most popular and classic of all football-card sets. In addition to being Luckman's rookie card this card is also a true condition rarity in the set. Being the No. 1 card in the set, this card gravitated to the top of the stack, usually exposing it to extra wear and handling, and thus making high-grade examples far more difficult to find than most other 1948 Leaf football cards. This example displays bright colors, a crisp image, strong corners (slightly weaker top right), and centering toward the right. The reverse has bold black print. Opening Bid $1,000.
