PSA Graded Card - Certification #118441234 - Grade: MINT 9

This card features Barry Sanders as a prospect coming out of Oklahoma State University, designated as the 'No. 1 Pick' on a prominent green banner in the lower right. The card uses a lively color palette with a largely red border and grid pattern, matching Oklahoma State’s team colors and emphasizing an action photo of Sanders in his college uniform (#21) evading defenders. The top of the card has a red banner with his name, position (RB), and future NFL team (Lions). The NFL logo is displayed in the top right. Visual design is typical late 1980s, with bold, graphic borders, inset team helmet, and clear set branding. Card condition as shown appears to be mint, encapsulated and graded PSA 9. No special printing technology is used; it is a standard glossy card stock issue, common for the era. The historical context is that this is the most iconic Barry Sanders rookie card and is a staple for 1980s/1990s football collectors, marking the beginning of an NFL Hall of Famer's career. Notably, this card is valued both for Sanders' legendary status and the era-defining Pro Set branding.
