Description

1971 O-Pee-Chee CFL Jim Tomlin #3 All-East Toronto Argonauts (EX+ 5.5) Capture a standout defensive star with this crisp 1971 O-Pee-Chee CFL Jim Tomlin card #3. The front features a great image of Tomlin in his pre-game crouch on a lush green grass backdrop. The card reverse displays the popular O-Pee-Chee bilingual text and cartooning that emphasizes his incredible 9.4-second 100-yard dash speed. Jim Tomlin made waves across the league after signing as a free agent from Stephen F. Austin College and a stint with the New Orleans Saints. He quickly developed into one of the premier "deep backs" in the entire CFL, gaining widespread acclaim and earning an All-East selection in 1970 for his lock-down pass defense. This card exhibits impressive overall structural health, qualifying for a high-end raw grade estimate of Excellent Plus (.5). The corners are solid with only micro-wear visible under close inspection. The bright red outer borders show clean, unchipped lines along most sides. The centering is exceptional for this vintage release, remaining nicely centered left-to-right. The front surface is completely clear of any major wax marks or print bubbles. The back shows an immaculate print profile with no blemishes. Grade Estimate: EX+ 5.5
