One of the most iconic football cards of the 20th century and arguably the most important of the era is the 1966 Philadelphia Gum Company rookie card of Bears star Gale Sayers. A card that transcends the sport, the pose was bold for the time as Sayers strikes the classic Heisman pose for the camera. The card is easy to find, the photo used to make it... not so much. In 20+ years of collecting this is the only the second original image of this photograph we have ever seen for sale. This is a perfect 10/10 and because this is a team issue that never made it through a newspaper archive, there are no stamps to found (these were never stamped and the only markings you will ever find on these are secondary file marks from newspaper) which makes this a clean perfect example that is completely vintage!
