🏈 A PSA 8 NEAR MINT certified Ronnie Lott 1988 Topps #51 football card — from the 1988 Topps football set, the card from one of the peak seasons of Lott's dominance as the most feared and respected defensive back in the National Football League. Ronnie Lott — the San Francisco 49ers safety who won four Super Bowls, made ten Pro Bowl rosters, and delivered the most physically intimidating defensive performances of the dynasty era — appears on this 1988 Topps card, PSA-certified at 8 NEAR MINT. Condition: NOS.

🌟 Albuquerque, New Mexico — USC Trojans — The Making of the Most Physical Safety in Football

Ronald Mandel Lott was born May 8, 1959, in Albuquerque, New Mexico — a city in the Rio Grande valley surrounded by the Sandia Mountains, the desert Southwest city that gave professional football one of its most intellectually and physically complete defenders. Lott grew up to play his college football at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles under head coach John Robinson — the USC Trojans program that has produced more Pro Bowl players and NFL draft picks than virtually any program in the country. At USC, Lott demonstrated the combination of physical coverage ability, run support toughness, and instinctive play-reading that the San Francisco 49ers recognized when they selected him with the 8th overall pick in the 1981 NFL Draft. The 1988 Topps #51 PSA 8 NEAR MINT is the card from Lott's eighth season in San Francisco, well within the dynasty years. Condition: NOS.

San Francisco 49ers — Bill Walsh — Four Super Bowls — The Dynasty's Defensive Conscience

Ronnie Lott was the defensive conscience of the San Francisco 49ers dynasty under head coach Bill Walsh — the player who enforced the physical standard on defense that Montana and Rice and Craig established on offense. Lott won four Super Bowl championships with the 49ers (XVI after the 1981 season, XIX after 1984, XXIII after 1988, XXIV after 1989) and made ten All-Pro rosters across his career. Perhaps his most famous single act of toughness: after suffering a crushed fingertip in the 1985 playoffs, Lott elected to have the tip of his left pinky finger amputated rather than miss playing time for a bone graft recovery — a decision that became one of the most celebrated examples of competitive toughness in NFL history. The 1988 Topps #51 PSA 8 NEAR MINT is the card of the four-time champion in his dynasty years. Pro Football Hall of Fame: 2000. Condition: NOS.
