1954 Bowman #60 Charley Trippi PSA 9 — A Pop 6 Hall of Fame Triple-Threat in Ultra-Rare High Grade

Few players in NFL history embodied the term triple-threat quite like Charley Trippi, a dynamic force who could do it all—run, pass, catch, return kicks, and defend. A college superstar at Georgia and war veteran, Trippi was the No. 1 overall pick in the 1945 NFL Draft and became the crown jewel of the Chicago Cardinals’ “Million Dollar Backfield.” During his career, he racked up over 3,500 rushing yards, nearly 3,000 passing yards, and close to 1,000 receiving yards—an unheard-of level of versatility in any era. Trippi helped lead the Cardinals to an NFL championship in 1947 and was later enshrined in Canton in 1968.

This PSA 9 copy of Trippi’s 1954 Bowman card is one of just six ever graded this high, with none graded higher. It’s a brilliant vintage showcase of the multi-position legend, presented with vibrant color, near-flawless centering, clean borders, and crisp image detail. The surface quality is outstanding for this issue—typically plagued by print defects and edge wear—and the corners remain sharp and well-preserved, making this a standout in any high-end vintage football collection.
