Explore in-depth stats, PSA populations, and a unique rating for Jim Brown's classic card from the 1961 Fleer set.
The 1961 Fleer Jim Brown #11 is a standout from what was Fleer’s first major football set, released during a time when Topps dominated the market. The set is known for its simple, clean design and smaller checklist, and it gave collectors an alternative to Topps for the first time in years. Packs cost a nickel, and the cards were printed on slightly thinner stock than Topps, making high-grade examples even harder to find. With only 2 PSA 10s and fewer than 800 total graded copies, this card is much scarcer than most of Brown’s other early issues.
By 1961, Jim Brown was already a household name, having led the league in rushing every season since his rookie year. He was known for his power, speed, and ability to break tackles, and he was just as dominant off the field—Brown was also a star in lacrosse and track at Syracuse. The 1961 Fleer card captures Brown in his prime and stands out for its rarity and place in hobby history as part of Fleer’s debut football set.
