1954 Bowman #85 Lou Creekmur PSA 9

1954 Bowman #85 Lou Creekmur PSA 9 – A High-Grade HOF Ironman

The 1954 Bowman #85 Lou Creekmur card is a stunning vintage collectible honoring one of the toughest and most durable offensive linemen in NFL history. A key figure for the Detroit Lions from 1950 to 1959, Lou Creekmur was the foundation of an offensive line that powered Detroit to three NFL Championships (1952, 1953, 1957). Known for his unparalleled toughness, Creekmur played in 165 consecutive games without missing a start—an incredible feat in the brutal, physical era of 1950s football. A six-time First-Team All-Pro, eight-time Pro Bowler, and a Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee (1996), Creekmur was instrumental in protecting Lions quarterback Bobby Layne and opening lanes for the team's dominant rushing attack.

Graded PSA 9, this is an exceptionally high-grade example from the 1954 Bowman football set, a series known for its clean, artistic design and rich color palette. The centering is excellent, the corners remain razor-sharp, and the colors are deep and vibrant, making this one of the finest known copies of Creekmur’s Hall of Fame issue. The 1954 Bowman set remains a favorite among vintage football collectors, and cards in this condition are exceedingly difficult to find.

For collectors of Hall of Fame linemen, Detroit Lions legends, or investment-worthy vintage football cards, this PSA 9 Lou Creekmur is an outstanding addition.
