Card #486 from the 1989 Pro Set football set — the base Pro Set RC of Deion Sanders, the Fort Myers, Florida cornerback who arrived in the NFL as the most athletically gifted two-sport professional in the history of American sports, bringing to the Falcons the elite speed, the mirror-image cover skills, and the theatrical personality that made him the most discussed defensive player of his generation for the better part of fifteen years — graded PSA 10 GEM MINT. The 1989 Pro Set set holds a specific place in the football card hobby because of the players whose rookie cards it contains: as one of the first major trading card releases for the 1989 draft class, the Pro Set #486 is the base RC that documents Deion Sanders' entry into the professional football market — the card issued in the year he was drafted, before the Super Bowl rings, before the Cowboys dynasty, before the Hall of Fame induction, before all of it. In PSA 10 GEM MINT, the 1989 Pro Set Deion Sanders RC is the maximum-condition base documentation of the career that began when the Atlanta Falcons selected him 5th overall and the rest of the NFL began gameplan meetings with one common objective: don't throw at number 21. Condition: NOS.

🌟 Fort Myers, Florida — Florida State — Prime Time — The Two-Sport Career That Has Never Been Replicated

Deion Luwynn Sanders was born August 9, 1967, in Fort Myers, Florida — the Lee County city on Florida's Gulf Coast, the Cape Coral side of the Caloosahatchee River from Fort Myers, a Southwest Florida city whose warm climate and competitive athletics culture gave Sanders the foundation for the career that followed. He played football and baseball at Florida State University — the Seminoles' athletic juggernaut in Tallahassee — and demonstrated the rare combination of elite speed, elite reflexes, and elite competitive confidence that allowed him to play at the highest level in two professional sports simultaneously. As a cornerback, his speed, footwork, and instinct for the football made him the most feared pass coverage defender of his era. As a baseball outfielder, he played 641 MLB games across nine seasons for the Yankees, Braves, Reds, Giants, and Reds. No player in the history of professional American sports had done both as well for as long at the highest levels simultaneously. Primetime. The nickname said everything. Condition: NOS.

🏆 Two Super Bowl Rings — Eight Pro Bowls — The Hall of Fame — The Greatest Corner in the History of the Position

Deion Sanders' NFL career produced achievements that place him in the conversation about the greatest cornerback in the history of the position: eight Pro Bowl selections, two Super Bowl championships (with the San Francisco 49ers in 1994 and the Dallas Cowboys in 1995, making him one of the few players to win back-to-back Super Bowls with two different teams), NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 1994, and induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2011. His coverage ability was so pronounced that opposing offensive coordinators routinely removed their best wide receiver from routes that would take him anywhere near Sanders' coverage assignment — taking an entire side of the field away from the offense by simply having Deion Sanders responsible for it. The 1989 Pro Set RC at #486, in PSA 10 GEM MINT, documents the professional entry of the player who would make that impact on the sport for the better part of two decades. Primetime. PSA 10. In the slab. Condition: NOS.
