Graded GEM MT 10 by PSA (09097676). Hall of Famer. Rookie Card. Among a total of more than 35,000 copies of this piece recorded in PSA's census reporting, fewer than one-half of 1 percent have achieved this unimprovable grade. Jerry Rice, generally considered the greatest wide receiver in NFL history, appears on this seminal Topps rookie card. Jerry Rice holds many of the NFL's all-time receiving marks, including receptions (1,549), touchdown receptions (197), and receiving yards (22,895). Rice was a key player in three Super Bowl victories during his storied career, capturing the Super Bowl MVP Award in 1988 and 1993. The presented copy displays superlative aesthetic attributes from nearly every perspective. The card boasts straight edges that culminate in four sharp points at each corner aspect. The vibrant color utilized in the 1986 Topps issue is on full display in this piece, with vivid green, red, and blue hues catching the eye of the viewer. This is an outstanding early career commemorative celebrating the preeminent pass-catcher in the history of the NFL.
