1984 Topps #143 Andre Tippett PSA 9 — Patriots Pass-Rushing Force

By the mid-1980s, Andre Tippett had become the backbone of the Patriots’ defense, a relentless edge presence who made life miserable for opposing quarterbacks. His explosive first step and nonstop motor translated into 100 career sacks, multiple Pro Bowls, and ultimately a well-deserved place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. This issue captures Tippett at the front end of that dominant stretch, just as his reputation was taking off league-wide.

The 1984 Topps football design delivers that unmistakable early-’80s look — bold colors, crisp borders, and straightforward photography that displays beautifully in a slab. This PSA 9 example shows sharp corners, strong edges, and clean, vibrant surfaces, giving it excellent overall eye appeal and the fresh, high-grade presentation collectors expect.

A solid early-career Tippett collectible and a natural fit for Patriots fans, defensive legends, or high-grade ’80s Topps builders. Clean copies like this quietly disappear fast — especially for Hall of Fame defenders.
