Graded EX-MT+ 6.5 by PSA. Stunning high-grade example of the most famous and highly prized key football-card rarity: Bronko Nagurski in the 1935 National Chicle Football Stars set. The offered example is exceptionally bright and clean, with bold colors, crisp registration, and four square corners showing light wear at the tip. The image is centered just a hint to the bottom left. The reverse is clean with bold blue print. Nagurski's rookie card is one of the most popular and recognizable football cards from any era. This card has always been highly sought-after, on any short list of the hobby's most classic football cards, and, of course, very rare to find in any grade. As a point of reference, a PSA EX-MT 6 example of this card just recently appeared in an April 2019 public auction, where it realized a final sale price of $50,100. This is a beautiful example that would be a worthy addition to any high-grade R331 National Chicle set or world-class classic Hall of Fame football-card collection. Reserve $10,000. Estimate (open).
