🏈 Graded 1972 Topps Larry Csonka #140 Football Card PSA 8 NM-MT – A Near Mint-Mint Graded Example of the Miami Dolphins Fullback Card from the Season of the Only Perfect Record in NFL History, When Csonka and the Dolphins Ran Through Seventeen Games Without a Defeat to Win the Super Bowl and Leave Behind the Record That Every Subsequent Undefeated Team Has Fallen Short of Matching, Graded PSA 8 NM-MT

🏈 The 1972 Miami Dolphins went 17-0. They remain the only team in NFL history to finish a season, including the playoffs, without a single defeat – a record that has stood for over fifty years and that is referenced every season when an NFL team opens with a strong record, because the possibility of matching it is the immediate conversation that the football world returns to every time it becomes relevant. Larry Csonka was the player at the center of that offense: the fullback who physically embodied the Dolphins' running game, a ball carrier who did not dodge contact but absorbed it and gained yards anyway, the kind of runner who the coaches in Don Shula's system built their philosophy around. His 1972 Topps card, graded PSA 8 NM-MT, documents that season. Condition: NOS.

🏈 The 1972 Dolphins' offense is remembered through the combination of Csonka's power running, Bob Griese's efficient quarterbacking, and the supporting cast that Don Shula assembled around the specific system he had built. Csonka rushed for over 1,000 yards that regular season – a significant threshold in the era – and his performance in the Super Bowl VII victory over the Washington Redskins earned him MVP recognition, the formal acknowledgment that his contributions to the undefeated season extended through its final game. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1987, and his 1972 card represents the peak of the career that led to that induction. Condition: NOS.

🏈 A 1972 Topps card graded PSA 8 NM-MT carries the weight of more than five decades of preservation – a card printed in the same year the Dolphins were finishing their perfect season, now in a condition that the Professional Sports Authenticator classifies as Near Mint-Mint, a grade that reflects the card surviving its era with the surface and corners that most examples of its age have not maintained. Condition: NOS.
