The listing, 1970 Topps O.J. SIMPSON Rookie Card - REAL DEAL Not a Reprint! has ended.
Here it is: an OJ Simpson rookie card. One of football's most coveted rookie cards, with appeal far beyond that of football collectors.
OJ won a Heisman Trophy in 1968, the NFL MVP in 1973, and one of the most prolific court trials of the 20th Century in 1995. The #1 overall pick of the NFL draft, OJ would lead the league in rushing 4 times, including becoming the first ever to rush for over 2000 yards in a season (2003 yards in 14 games in 1973). He coupled his football career with an acting career, most notably in the historic "Roots" miniseries and in the "Naked Gun" comedy series.
Despite his successes on both the gridiron and the screen, Simpson is better known these days for a criminal trial in 1995 and a robbery arrest in 2007; he's enshrined in both the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Cooperstown and a correctional facility in Nevada.
Check out the pictures. Card not "mint", but not bad for a FREE OJ rookie. If you're looking for a perfect one, they sell those on Ebay for cash money.
Book value is $80, but may be moving up considering recent renewed interest in the Simpson case, including a television special. This particular version will be worth less than full book since it is not in near mint or mint condition, but it's still a desirable card. And ... pssst, you're buying this thing for virtual credits. How sweet is that?
Card will be shipped in the protective screw down case it is shown in, and mailed in a bubble mailer with tracking.
