Wow on the Branch, what a beauty! I thought that was a Topps Mexican for a second, a definite double-take. For those who never saw him play: Branch was a stud, he bypassed the 1972 Olympic Trials to enter the NFL draft. I may be wrong, but think he and Ray Guy were the only Raiders to be on all three Super Bowl Champions (1976?, 1980, and 1983). An awesome weapon from the days when Al Davis could evaluate talent, he'd regularly average 20+ yards a catch per season.

I thought so too. I just landed a Mexican PSA 8 (none higher) of my guy, which I'll post as soon as I get it

Very excited about today's arrival! 1977 Topps Mexican is a tough perforated issue, for those who don't know it. I like the fact that it's in Spanish. "Nueva Inglaterra."



This is one of the 3 most important Hannah cards there are and there are none graded higher than this PSA 8. Given the significance, scarcity and grade, it becomes the cornerstone of my Hannah collection. Here is a link to my registry, for those who are interested:

Congrats on adding the Hannah to your collection. Nice card and considering it's scarcity in that grade makes it a great cornerstone to your Hannah collection.

Great Hannah Dan! Very nicely centered with great ink for the issue.

Shhh! I've been quietly accumulating the 1977 Topps Mexican set for a couple years now (30% complete). An incredibly difficult set in EX+ condition with a dozen true shortprints, forty or so more short-prints that are difficult. Condition is a big problem with the set, as most cards have gum stains, roller marks, or are poorly cut. A lot of fun to collect until I need to pony up for the Largent rookie Picked up these '77 Topps Mexican this month:

Thanks Ty, that's a great lot! Love the Mexis! Do you own a Hannah?

I don't have a Hannah, though I have a NM 7 of the man he protected, Steve Grogan. Always liked him, believe he had some rookie touchdown record for awhile, probably from dives over Hannah. Congrats on the pick-up

[DBesse27]

Yours are so cool. Empacadores!

does that mean its an 8 ?

I dont think it would hurt to mention the price you got the cards for.

it might be different than the general google

[DBesse27]

Rollie, I don't understand your question about my Mexican Hannah. Nice Sonny.

Larry, I love early 60s fleer. Nice cards!

The rating for the card is what I'm asking

Yes. You are reading the label correctly.

I like seeing the "POP=1, POP HIGHER=0" in the Hannah collection - nice! So Topps did a Spanish language football set in 77? Was that the only year?
