1935 National Chicle Knute Rockne PSA 8

This 1935 National Chicle Knute Rockne football card has been graded a 8 by PSA, indicating near mint to mint condition.  For a card that is 75 years old, that is an impressive condition.  This card is currently up for auction by Memory Lane, labeled as lot number 6.  The description of the card indicates that there are only three cards that grade higher than this particular card.  Rare company indeed. 

This 1959 Topps football card of Green Bay Packer and Hall of Famer, Paul Hornung has been graded PSA 8.  Card #82, shows the "golden boy" who won the Heisman just a few years before this card was issued.  Hornung would be named to the 2nd team All-NFL by the AP and UPI in 1959.  

The multi-colored lettering of this card has a distinct 1950s feel in my opinion.  This PSA 8 card is for sale at nearmintcards.com for $195.
