The details of this 1959 Topps football card of legendary NFL coach and broadcaster John Madden are right on the money. And, he was drafted by the Eagles and went to training camp with them, but a knee injury kept him from making the team, and he never actually had his own Topps card. This card is actually a fake, although it is a very impressive one, produced by a guy named Bob Lemke. Check out his blog for more details… http://boblemke.blogspot.com/2009/11/my-custom-creation-john-madden-football.html My only complaint with the card is that if Madden had really had a card, he certainly would’ve insisted on posing in the old “huckabuck” style of the day.
