1962 Topps Fran Tarkenton

This 1962 Topps Fran Tarkenton rookie card is the first card of the great Minnesota Vikings quarterback. Even though it is one of the better rookie cards of the 1960s and it is difficult to find in good condition because of the black border, this card is not quite as expensive as one would think. It will sell for hundreds of dollars but it doesn't quite match other rookie cards of Hall of Famers from the same eras in price. Nevertheless, this is a great target for any 1960s football card collector. The nine time Pro Bowler was named the 1975 NFL Most Valuable Player. He is widely considered one of the best quarterbacks of his era.
