1962 Topps #129 John Henry Johnson PSA 9 – A Hall of Fame Powerhouse in a Tough Set for High-Grades

John Henry Johnson was a hard-nosed, punishing runner who could wear down defenses with his relentless power and durability. After winning an NFL Championship with the Detroit Lions in 1957, he became the first running back in Pittsburgh Steelers history to rush for over 1,000 yards in a season, setting the stage for a franchise built on tough, physical football. A four-time Pro Bowler and Pro Football Hall of Famer, Johnson’s consistency and toughness made him one of the premier backs of his era.

This 1962 Topps #129 John Henry Johnson PSA 9 is a spectacular high-grade example from one of Topps’ most condition-sensitive sets. The 1962 Topps design is famous for its black-bordered edges, which are incredibly prone to chipping and wear, making high-grade copies extremely difficult to find. This PSA 9 example features exceptional centering, sharp edges, and a rich, vibrant color presentation.

For collectors of Hall of Fame greats and ultra-condition-sensitive vintage football cards, this is a key addition to any serious collection. With very few PSA 9 examples in circulation and none graded higher, this card is a rare find from one of the most challenging Topps football sets ever produced.
