1968 Topps #49 Paul Warfield PSA 9 – A Near-Mint Gem of an Elite Hall of Famer
Paul Warfield wasn’t just fast—he was unstoppable in the open field, a receiver who turned any route into a scoring opportunity. By 1968, he had already cemented himself as one of the NFL’s most dangerous pass-catchers, serving as a premier weapon for the Cleveland Browns. His ability to effortlessly separate from defenders, track deep passes, and make acrobatic catches made him a nightmare for defensive backs. Over his Hall of Fame career, Warfield totaled 8,565 receiving yards and 85 touchdowns, maintaining an eye-popping 20.1 yards per reception average—one of the highest in NFL history. Though he would later help guide the Miami Dolphins to back-to-back Super Bowl titles (VII & VIII), including their undefeated 1972 season, Warfield’s early dominance with the Browns solidified his reputation as one of the most efficient and electrifying receivers ever to play the game.
