Classic Sports Card of The Day

09 Jul

 

This is a 1957 Topps football card of Hall of Fame quarterback Bart Starr. Starr’s career began in 1956 when he joined the Green Bay Packers as an “afterthought” 17th round round draft pick, so this card is from early in Starr’s career, before Vince Lombardi arrived to coach the team. Starr flourished under Lombardi’s tutelage and developed into one of the most efficient, if not flashiest, quarterbacks of the 1960s, and without a doubt was the winningest signal-caller of the decade, leading the Packers to 5 titles.
