Most Valuable Football card ever?

I'm calling B.S. on this one.

Have they ever heard of 1935 Nat'l Chicle?

    I saw that too and thought the same.

    The Chicle Cards are much easaier to find then the 1894 Mayo Cards. The John Dunlap card was #35 Annonymous for many years prior to someone finding out who it was. May not be the most valuable card, but is the hardest to find in any condition.

    What does the chicle go for in that condition?

    The Mayo anonymous or Dunlap is a MUCH scarcer card than the Chicles, therefore the scarcity really drives the value up..like the 52 Bowman Large Lansford. I would pick the Nagurski Chicle over the Mayo Dunlap, but I will never be able to afford either so I guess it really doesn't matter!

    I'd say yes, they've heard of 1935 Nat'l Chicle--the author mentions it in the second sentence of his article.
    I collect Vintage Cards, Commemorative Sets, and way too many vintage and modern player collections in Baseball (180 players), Football (175 players), and Basketball (87 players). Also have a Dallas Cowboy team collection.

    In the same grade, Dunlap sells for more than Nagurski.
    No such details will spoil my plans...

    I'm a very big fan of the Chicle set, but I agree -- Chicles are much more common than Mayos. I'm surprised the Dunlop only sold for $10,000 -- it likely would have sold for more if it had been slabbed. I've heard that there are only 10-20 known copies of this card.

    I guess they aren't including graded cards in that discussion.

    SGC reports that it sold for $240K.

    I'd bet that if a mint Dunlop existed, it could be sold for more than that Nagurski.

    I suppose it is in a sense foolish to say the Dunlop is the most valuable football card, because there is likely no 9 to compete with that Nagurski. However, I agree with AlanAllen that Dunlop would sell for more than Nagurski in the same grade. So, it is probably the most valuable football card at a given grade level. I don't think they're off base in calling the Dunlop the most valuable football card, because it very well could be.

    There are only 3 Dunlops graded by PSA, with the highest graded cards being 2 PSA 3's. On the other hand, there are 100 Nagurskis graded by PSA. A very nice Nagurski PSA 5 sold tonight on eBay for $6600, yet the Dunlop sold ungraded for > $10,000, when it is likely a PSA 1 at best.
