How I Arrived at the Hobby Score

The 1959 Topps Jim Brown #10 gets a high hobby score thanks to its place in both football and hobby history. This card comes from just the fourth year Topps produced football cards, a time when the NFL was still growing and packs cost only a nickel. The 1959 set is known for its bold colors and simple design, and it’s not easy to find well-centered, high-grade examples today. With a total PSA population under 3,000 and very few PSA 10s, scarcity is a real factor for collectors.

Jim Brown’s legacy is a big part of the score. By his second season, he had already won two rushing titles and was changing how the running back position was viewed. Brown averaged over 5 yards per carry for his career, never missed a game, and was a threat to score every time he touched the ball. He’s still considered a top 5 NFL player of all time, and his early Topps cards are a direct link to the roots of modern football collecting.
