1959 Topps #74 Mike McCormack PSA 8 - An Anchor of the Trenches

When it comes to the great offensive linemen in NFL history, Mike McCormack often gets less fanfare—but never less respect. A dominant tackle for the Cleveland Browns, McCormack spent his career clearing paths for Hall of Fame backs like Jim Brown and Lenny Moore, earning a reputation as one of the most technically sound and physically imposing linemen of his era. A six-time Pro Bowler and five-time First-Team All-Pro, he was the kind of lineman who made everything else work—and in 1984, he was deservedly enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The 1959 Topps #74 card captures McCormack during the heart of his career in one of Topps’ most colorful and mid-century modern designs. Featuring a bold yellow background and the classic oval portrait style unique to the ’59 set, the card is both aesthetically charming and era-defining. In PSA 8, this example is sharply preserved, showcasing excellent centering, clean borders, sharp corners, and rich color—a high-end specimen from a set that often suffers from print defects and fading.
