1935 National Chicle #29 Jim MacMurdo PSA 7 - Scarce Pre-War Football from a Landmark Set
Long before football cards became mainstream, the 1935 National Chicle release set the standard—and names like Jim MacMurdo are part of what gives the set its depth and character. A rugged lineman from the early days of the professional game, MacMurdo represents the kind of foundational player who helped shape football during its formative years.
What truly elevates this card is the set itself. The 1935 National Chicle issue is widely regarded as the most important pre-war football release, known for its bold artwork, rich color, and unmistakable presence. This PSA 7 example is especially impressive for the issue, offering sharp corners, strong edges, and vibrant color retention, all combining for standout eye appeal in a set where condition is notoriously difficult.
Cards from this release rarely surface in this level of preservation, making this MacMurdo a high-grade example from one of the hobby’s most iconic early football sets. A piece that carries both historical weight and visual impact, ideal for collectors focused on true pre-war scarcity.
