What if one of the greatest players in NFL history didn’t get a rookie card… until six years into his career?
In Episode 4 of Fin Condition, O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit, and The Legendary Sevach break down the 1972 Topps Larry Little rookie card (Card #240)—a card packed with history, quirks, and a direct connection to the Miami Dolphins’ perfect season.
From the bold orange borders to the farm-like background with barbed wire fencing, this card is peak early-70s Topps. The guys also dig into:
- The 1972 Topps set (351 cards, largest football set ever at the time)
- 10-cent wax packs (10 cards + inserts like puzzles/game cards)
- Imperfect cuts, off-centering, and why that actually adds to the charm
- The cartoon-backed design that defined the era
- Why this is considered Larry Little’s rookie card despite him already being an established All-Pro
- The story behind the infamous “nothing for nothing” trade that brought him to Miami
- A classic Larry Little story from the Dolphins alumni suite—because when Larry speaks, everyone listens
Because when you’re holding this card… you’re holding a piece of perfection.
