The top-pick QB -- 26 years ago



The 1984 Topps set was loaded with rookies that collectors still find interesting -- John Elway, Dan Marino, Eric Dickerson, Howie Long, Andre Tippett, Jackie Slater, Darrell Green ... and these are just the Hall of Famers! I was an avid collector that year, and the card I remember everybody wanting was Seattle's Curt Warner. Warner was having an incredible rookie season; now, he's an afterthought in the 1984 rookie parade. He's not even nearly the most famous NFL player with his own name!

The reason for picking the Elway card for Card of the Week is that this card was graded an 8 by PSA. Notice how clean it looks. Good corners, edges, gloss ... even the centering is good. Same is true on the back.

But, it's an 8.

This may help you understand just how high the standards are for good grades.
