The “Passing Stands Visible” designation refers to the specific background configuration in this variation of the #165 Wilson card – a short-print configuration that was not the standard mass-produced version, making it the less common of the Wilson rookie card prints in the 2012 Topps set. The Seattle Seahawks selected Wilson in the 3rd round of the 2012 NFL Draft – 75th overall – a draft position that reflected concerns about his height (5'11”) rather than his skill set, and one that NFL scouts discussing the 2012 class would revisit extensively in the years that followed. PSA graded this Passing Stands Visible example at 10 Gem Mint, the absolute ceiling of their certification scale. Condition: NOS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e🏈 Wilson immediately won the starting job in Seattle, led the Seahawks to the playoffs in his rookie season, and in his second year guided them to Super Bowl XLVIII in New York where Seattle defeated the Denver Broncos 43-8 – the most lopsided Super Bowl victory in the game's modern era. The short-print variation of a rookie card for a quarterback who won the Super Bowl in his second season produced exactly the kind of secondary market attention that collectors who had acquired examples early appreciated. This PSA 10 Gem Mint Passing Stands Visible example documents Wilson at the moment everything was beginning, in the variation that was harder to find from the start.
