🏈 Vintage Howie Long 1984 Topps #111 Rookie RC Football Card — PSA 6 Excellent — The Oakland Raiders Defensive End Who Anchored One of the Most Intimidating Defenses of the 1980s, Pro Football Hall of Famer, Super Bowl Champion, and the Man the Opposing Offense Had to Game-Plan for Every Week

🏈 The Oakland Raiders of the early 1980s were the kind of franchise that the NFL had a complicated relationship with — a team that was genuinely successful, genuinely scary, and genuinely unsympathetic to any team that tried to beat them. Howie Long was a central reason why. Drafted in the second round in 1981 from Villanova, Long became one of the most dominant defensive ends in the NFL within two years of his arrival, a pass rusher and run stopper who combined first-step quickness with the frame of a player who could hold the point of attack against any offensive line in the conference. He won a Super Bowl in 1983 (Super Bowl XVIII, Raiders 38, Washington 9), was named to eight Pro Bowls across his career, and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2000. The 1984 Topps Howie Long #111 Rookie RC — produced the season after his championship year — is a vintage football card from the era of raider silver and black, now graded PSA 6 Excellent, an authenticated period document of one of the defining defensive players of the 1980s. Condition: NOS.

🏆 Super Bowl XVIII Champion — Raiders 38, Washington 9

🏆 The Los Angeles Raiders dominated the Washington Redskins 38-9 in Super Bowl XVIII in January 1984 — one of the most lopsided Super Bowl scores in the game's history. Howie Long was part of the defensive unit that held Washington's high-powered offense to 9 points in the championship game, and the 1984 Topps RC documents him in the immediate aftermath of that championship season.

🎙️ Beyond the Field — Fox Sports Analyst

🎙️ After retiring in 1993, Howie Long became one of the most recognizable faces in football television coverage as a studio analyst for Fox Sports — a role he has held for decades that brought his football knowledge and personality to a broadcast audience far larger than any stadium he played in. His public profile across the studio and the field gives the 1984 Topps RC a dual-context collectibility. Condition: NOS.
