The 1950 Bowman football set is a work of art, loaded with significant superstar and Hall of Famer rookie cards. Rising to the top of the list, the grand prize of the collection is the debut card of signal-caller Otto Graham. Leading the Cleveland Browns to the championship game for six straight seasons (1950-1955), Graham's 57-13-1 career record is bolstered by an even more impressive 9-3 postseason mark. Offered here is a stunning example graded MINT 9 by PSA, highlighted by expert centering amid the impossibly thin borders, bold, fresh color hues, and a crisply detailed image of the legendary signal caller. The corners are clearly of MINT quality, if not better, and the reverse is problem free with bold, well-centered print on an off-white, toned canvas. A noticeable lack of errant print marks amplifies the appeal of the surface, and the reverse is clean and blemish-free. An important Hall of Fame rookie card, one of just 9 in the grade with none higher.
