1997 Topps #200 John Elway PSA 10 – The Leader of a Championship Season

The 1997 season was the year John Elway finally reached the mountaintop, leading the Denver Broncos to a Super Bowl XXXII victory and cementing his legacy as one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. At 37 years old, Elway continued to defy time, throwing for 3,635 yards and 27 touchdowns, while orchestrating one of the most well-balanced offenses in football alongside Terrell Davis. The Broncos finished the season 12-4, stormed through the playoffs, and pulled off a stunning 31-24 upset over the Green Bay Packers in the Super Bowl—a game in which Elway’s famous “helicopter run” became one of the most iconic moments in football history.

Graded PSA 10, this gem-mint example from the 1997 Topps football set is a stunning tribute to Elway’s first Super Bowl-winning campaign. The centering is pristine, the edges are flawless, and the colors are bold and vibrant, making this one of the finest-known copies of this issue. Given that the late-'90s Topps football sets were often prone to condition flaws, finding a perfectly preserved example is a rare and valuable opportunity for collectors.
