1959 Topps #23 Bart Starr PSA 9 – A Mint Classic of the Packers’ Legendary Field General

In 1959, Bart Starr was on the verge of greatness. That year marked the arrival of Vince Lombardi as head coach of the Green Bay Packers—and together, Starr and Lombardi would go on to build one of the greatest dynasties in NFL history. Though Starr had yet to become a household name, his poise, leadership, and intelligence were beginning to shine. Over the next decade, he would guide the Packers to five NFL championships, win two Super Bowl MVPs, and earn a permanent place in Canton.

The 1959 Topps #23 is Starr’s third-year card and one of the most visually striking vintage quarterback issues of the era. Graded PSA 9, this example is a stunning high-grade specimen—boasting sharp corners, rich red and yellow color contrast, excellent centering, and a clean, glossy surface. The portrait-style design perfectly captures the young Starr just before his rise to football immortality.

This is a top-tier vintage card of one of the game's most revered signal-callers, preserved in near-mint mint condition. A trophy piece for any collector who appreciates championship pedigree, early Topps football design, and the birth of a dynasty.
