Graded EX-MT 6 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 (a bit more on the upper left). The image is centered just a hint to the bottom right. A tiny edge nick is visible on the lower left (mentioned for accuracy). The reverse is clean with bold blue print centered to the extreme bottom edge. 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, rare to find in any grade. As a point of reference, a PSA EX-MT 6 example of this card just recently appeared in a February 2020 public auction, where it realized a final sale price of $30,000. 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).
