🏈 Vintage Graded PSA 9 Mint Steve Largent 1979 Topps #198 Football Card — Seattle Seahawks — Hall of Fame Wide Receiver — 819 Career Receptions — 100 Receiving Touchdowns — Tulsa, Oklahoma — Undrafted Oilers Cut — Seattle Seahawks Legend — PSA 9 Mint

🏈 This Steve Largent 1979 Topps football card #198 has been graded PSA 9 Mint — the near-perfect designation from Professional Sports Authenticator that places this card in the top tier of condition for a nearly five-decade-old piece of printed cardboard that has survived the decades in the kind of shape that most cards from the 1979 Topps football set never reached. Largent's face looks back from the card in the Seattle Seahawks uniform he would wear across the fourteen seasons that made him the most decorated wide receiver of his professional era and the player whose career statistics set the standard for what the position could produce across a full professional career. Condition: NOS.

🌟 Tulsa, Oklahoma — Cut by the Oilers, Claimed by Seattle

🌟 Steve Largent was born on September 28, 1954, in Tulsa, Oklahoma — a city that produced the receiver whose precise route running and sure hands made him one of the most reliable targets in the National Football League from 1976 through 1989. The Houston Oilers selected Largent in the 4th round of the 1976 NFL Draft and almost immediately cut him — one of the more consequential personnel errors in the franchise's history — before the Seattle Seahawks claimed him on waivers for the cost of an 8th-round draft pick. In Seattle, Largent immediately became the foundational piece of the expansion Seahawks offense. The 1979 Topps set was produced three years into his Seahawks career, when his reputation as the most dependable pass-catcher in the AFC West was already established. Condition: NOS.

🏆 819 Receptions — 100 Touchdowns — The Records That Stood

🏆 When Steve Largent retired after the 1989 season, he held virtually every significant receiving record in NFL history: 819 career receptions, 13,089 career receiving yards, and 100 receiving touchdowns. The receiving record stood until Jerry Rice broke it in the mid-1990s. For years after his retirement, Largent's cumulative production was the benchmark against which every receiver in the league was measured. He caught passes in 177 consecutive regular-season games without a drop — a durability and reliability record that documented the consistency his teammates and coaches in Seattle had depended on for fourteen seasons. Condition: NOS.

⭐ The 1979 Topps Set — Vintage Football Cardboard at Its Peak

⭐ The 1979 Topps football set is one of the most collected vintage NFL card sets in the hobby — produced at the end of the decade that established professional football as the dominant American spectator sport and featuring the players whose careers defined the AFC and NFC of the late 1970s. Largent's card #198 in the set captures him in the three-year window between his breakout Seattle seasons and the decade of production that would make him a Hall of Famer. The PSA 9 Mint grade confirms centering, surface quality, and corner sharpness well above the average survival condition for a card printed and packaged in 1979. Condition: NOS.
