1970 Topps Super Bart Starr Square Corner Proof / 1970 Topps Super Johnny Unitas Square Corner Proof NFL Football Trading Cards (2 Cards Total). An extraordinary pairing of 1970 Topps Super Square Corner Proof cards featuring two of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history, Bart Starr and Johnny Unitas. Produced as scarce proof issues during the development of the Topps Super series, Square Corner Proofs rank among the rarest and most elusive football cards of the era, with only a handful of authenticated examples known to exist. Both cards in this lot carry a remarkably low total PSA population of just 25 graded examples, underscoring their exceptional scarcity. The Bart Starr proof is particularly significant, with only a single PSA 9 example known to exist as the highest graded copy, while the Johnny Unitas proof is equally impressive, with just one PSA 8 example representing the highest grade ever awarded by PSA. Starr, the legendary leader of the Green Bay Packers dynasty, guided his team to five NFL Championships and victories in the first two Super Bowls, while Unitas revolutionized the quarterback position during his Hall of Fame career with the Baltimore Colts and is widely regarded as one of the most influential players in football history. Combining two iconic Hall of Famers with one of the hobby's rarest proof issues and exceptionally limited population figures, this outstanding duo represents a museum quality opportunity for advanced football card collectors.
