The 1981 Donruss Jack Nicklaus card is often regarded as the Rookie Card of the Golden Bear. But a decade earlier a rare card was produced of Jack Nicklaus in the 1971 Barratt & Co Ltd "Famous Sportsmen" set. Only 418 unsigned copies of this true Rookie Card of Jack Nicklaus have ever been graded by PSA - compared to over 5,000 copies of Jack Nicklaus' 1981 Donruss Rookie Card. Likewise, PSA has authenticated 360 autograph 1981 Donruss Jack Nicklaus cards, but only 35 1971 Barratt cards. 

Offered here is an exceptional Jack Nicklaus autographed 1971 Barratt & Co. Jack Nicklaus Rookie Card.
