Grading math for this card
Prefilled with the latest qualifying sale for each grade where one exists. Replace any value with your own. We never suggest what grade your copy will get.
Formula from Grading: condition, uncertainty, and economics: grading pays only if your honest chance of the high grade exceeds (raw net + cost − other-outcome net) ÷ (high-grade net − other-outcome net). The 13% fee is an editable assumption, not a quoted tariff.
About Bronko Nagurski
The 1935 National Chicle Bronko Nagurski #34 is the key football card in National Chicle's first football release. Collectors search for it because it is the premier card of a short, early NFL issue and has an extremely thin high-grade PSA population.
Why this card matters
Verified factPSA's 1935 National Chicle set profile describes the 36-card Football Stars issue as National Chicle's inaugural football release and says the second 12-card expansion included Bronko Nagurski #34. The same profile describes Nagurski as widely seen as the most valuable and desirable football card of all. PSA CardFacts also lists only one PSA 9 and no PSA 10, underscoring how few top-grade PSA examples are recorded. The card matters because it combines early football-card history, high-number scarcity, and a central Hall of Fame subject. [1][2]
Identifying the exact version
Verified factThe exact version is 1935 National Chicle Football Bronko Nagurski #34, English, base high number. PSA's set profile places #34 in the second group after the original 24-card release, with high numbers #25-36 described as at least twice as scarce as lower numbers. Do not merge this card with later Nagurski cards, modern reprints, lower-number National Chicle cards, or other football Hall of Fame rookies. For slabs, record grader, grade, qualifier, cert, and any visible card-specific defects. [1][2]
What moves the price between versions and grades
AnalysisGrade, high-number status, centering, toning, corner wear, focus, and eye appeal are the main separators. PSA's set profile says National Chicle cards are condition sensitive, with toning, corner wear, focus problems, and centering mishaps affecting top-grade supply. PSA CardFacts shows only 1 PSA 9, 6 PSA 8s, and 16 PSA 7s on the accessed table, but those are graded-copy counts only. The private PSA 9 sale is a separate comp category from lower-grade public auction results. [1][2][3]
Authenticity checks
Verified factCompare against official references; multiple checks; no destructive tests; copied cert numbers exist. Verify the card number, National Chicle artwork style, dimensions, back text, paper aging, and signs of trimming or recoloring. Because this is a heavily counterfeited high-value vintage football card, use high-resolution front, back, edge, and slab photos before relying on a comp. PSA warns that cert numbers can be copied, so confirm the cert record, holder appearance, seller provenance, and the physical card together. [1][3][5]
