Graded EX 5 by PSA. Bronislau (Bronko) Nagurski pounds his competition with the offered 1935 National Chicle #34 high number. As the undisputed key card to the pioneering gridiron edition, this exceedingly vibrant rendition of the collegiate Hall of Famer will undoubtedly garner significant bidding attention. The running back and champion wrestler emerges from his alma mater's banner with a determined snarl as he gallops toward the viewer of this pre-war cardboard. The intricately crafted front is accentuated by intense color sequences and framed by uniformly touched corners with well-defined edges. The reverse detailing Nagurski's rough-and-tumble style is amplified by vibrant blue text. This early leatherhead has surged in desirability over the past decade, and the offered sample is certainly one of the nicer copies currently available for public sale.
