1965 Philadelphia #147 John H. Johnson PSA 9 – A Centered Hall of Fame Power Back in Peak Form

John Henry Johnson was one of the most punishing runners of his era, a Hall of Fame power back who could wear down defenses with his relentless style. A key figure in the San Francisco 49ers’ “Million Dollar Backfield,” he later became the first running back in Pittsburgh Steelers history to rush for over 1,000 yards in a season. With four Pro Bowl selections and an NFL Championship, Johnson’s career was defined by durability, consistency, and an unwavering ability to dominate at the line of scrimmage.

This 1965 Philadelphia #147 John Henry Johnson PSA 9 is a stunning high-grade example from one of the most respected football sets of the 1960s. The 1965 Philadelphia series is known for its clean, classic design and sharp player photography, and this card stands out with its rich colors, precise centering, and razor-sharp edges. Cards from this era often suffer from print defects and misalignment, making a PSA 9 example a truly rare find.

For collectors of Hall of Fame legends and vintage football, this is an essential piece. As one of Johnson’s key late-career cards, it captures the toughness and skill that made him a legend. With very few PSA 9 copies in circulation and none graded higher, this is a rare opportunity to own a near-perfect representation of one of football’s all-time greats.
