1959 Topps #44 John Henry Johnson PSA 9 – A Excellent Centered Powerful Runner in Peak Form

John Henry Johnson was a bruising, hard-nosed runner who left his mark on every team he played for. After emerging as a key piece of the San Francisco 49ers’ legendary "Million Dollar Backfield," he went on to become a star with the Detroit Lions and Pittsburgh Steelers, winning an NFL Championship in 1957 and later becoming the first player in Steelers history to rush for over 1,000 yards in a season. His physical running style and consistency earned him four Pro Bowl selections and a place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

For collectors of Hall of Fame legends and classic football cards, this is a must-have. As one of Johnson’s key early-career cards, it represents a crucial moment in his journey to football immortality. With very few PSA 9 copies in existence, this is a rare opportunity to own one of the finest-known examples of a football icon.
