The long-time Minnesota Vikings field general was the greatest scrambling quarterback in the history of the NFL and one of the most popular Hall of Fame players from the 1960s and 1970s. A nine-time Pro Bowler, Tarkenton retired as the all-time leader in just about every passing category, including completions, attempts, yards, and touchdowns, and led the Vikes to three Super Bowl appearances. The one and only Fran Tarkenton rookie card ever graded BVG NM-MT 8 with none graded higher, this is the single highest example out of 97 total submissions to Beckett Vintage Grading. The card’s flaws are found on the reverse and if not for a stock inclusion and smudging, a certain NM-MT+ 8.5 or possible MINT 9. The card boasts near 50/50 centering both ways, virtually pristine edges and corners, and full color and gloss. Previously graded PSA NM-MT 8 (certification number 04601813) prior to that company’s switch to a half-grade system, the card is completely authentic and unaltered – and obviously not sheet-cut. An incredibly key Hall of Famer rookie card from the most condition-sensitive football set of the decade with a pop of one!Shipping and insurance is free within the United States, international shipping and insurance is $40.00 via Global Express Mail plus $0.50 for each additional auction.
