My First Jim Brown: 1964 Philadelphia!

Everybody should own a Jim Brown playing-era card. Working at a primarily vintage card shop -- and we've had a number of big vintage football buys since I began -- has increased my appreciation for Brown's career. I had to own at least one vintage beaut of the Hall of Fame Cleveland Brown, and thankfully that day has come.


1964 Philadelphia Football. Every Browns' player took their photo for the set in front of Jimmy Brown's white Cadillac, which is just damn awesome. The card's well off-center and missing the entire bottom border but VG to VG-EX works for me.


Here's the back, and I really dig the blue. $12.95 delivered sealed the deal.
