1952 Bowman Large #2 Otto Graham PSA 8 – A Picture-Perfect Tribute to Football’s Original Champion
By 1952, Otto Graham wasn’t just the face of the Cleveland Browns—he was the gold standard for quarterbacking excellence across all of professional football. Having already led the Browns to six straight championship games across both the AAFC and NFL, Graham was an elite blend of intelligence, athleticism, and ice-cold leadership. His presence under center turned Paul Brown’s groundbreaking offense into a juggernaut, and his resume—three NFL titles and multiple MVP-level campaigns—stood as a blueprint for what a franchise quarterback could be.
The 1952 Bowman Large #2 Otto Graham is among the most iconic early post-war football cards, and in PSA 8 condition, it remains an exceptional example of vintage cardboard at its best. This copy boasts rich, painterly color, excellent centering, and strong corners, all while showcasing the artistry that makes the 1952 Bowman Large set so beloved among collectors. The hand-drawn portrait captures Graham in classic passing form, perfectly reflecting his poise and focus on the field.
Graham’s career winning percentage remains the highest of any quarterback in NFL history, and he retired as the league’s all-time leader in passing yards and touchdowns. This PSA 8 gem isn’t just a card—it’s a celebration of one of football’s earliest and most enduring legends. A must-have cornerstone for any serious vintage collection.
