1955 Posed action photograph of young George Blanda, quarterback for the Chicago Bears, and showing off his form. One of his most famous images ever taken, this is the photo that was used for both his 1956 and 1957 Topps cards (his first ones with the company). This is only the second example of this photograph we have handled and aside from editorial painting from artistic use, the item presents well with a strong image and some light pinholes at the corners. An important football card image from one of the most influential and popular players of the era.
