1961 Fleer #30 Johnny Unitas PSA 9 – The Golden Arm in Near-Gem Condition

By 1961, Johnny Unitas was already an icon of professional football. Having led the Baltimore Colts to back-to-back NFL Championships in 1958 and 1959, Unitas revolutionized the quarterback position with his command of the passing game and unmatched poise in the pocket. Known as “The Golden Arm,” he was in the heart of a Hall of Fame career that would include 10 Pro Bowl selections, 3 MVPs, and a legacy as one of the most influential quarterbacks the game has ever seen.

The 1961 Fleer #30 captures Unitas at the height of his dominance. Graded PSA 9, this example is a stunning near-gem—featuring crisp edges, bold print clarity, deep color, and exceptional centering. The 1961 Fleer football set, with its full-color player portraits and simple design, has become a favorite among vintage collectors, but high-grade examples—especially of key Hall of Famers—remain difficult to find.

This is a premium, investment-level card of a true gridiron pioneer, preserved in elite condition from a tough early-’60s issue. A sharp, commanding piece of cardboard that perfectly honors one of football’s greatest legends.
