1951 Bowman #97 Elmer Angsman PSA 5 – Speedster from the Cardinals’ Championship Backfield
Elmer Angsman carved his name into NFL lore as a key figure in the Chicago Cardinals' 1947 championship team, using his explosive speed and rugged running style to dominate on the ground. His back-to-back 70-yard touchdown runs in the ’47 title game remain among the most iconic postseason moments in league history. A Notre Dame standout turned pro standout, Angsman embodied the kind of athleticism and determination that defined post-war football.
This PSA 5 example from the colorful 1951 Bowman football issue carries that legacy forward with bold artwork and strong eye appeal. Moderate wear around the corners and light age toning are visible but well-balanced by the vivid hues and centering. A fine mid-grade piece of vintage football history, this card celebrates one of the game’s earliest offensive spark plugs and fits beautifully into any Golden Era gridiron collection.
