This would be a really tough choice for me. I'm a Packers fanatic, so I'd immediately start narrowing down to a short list.
The ultimate card for any hard core Packers fan would be the 1935 National Chicle Clarke Hinkle. But a strong mid grade card would cost way more than $500.
I could get a really nice 1955 Topps All American Don Hutson for $500. I could also find nice rookie examples of two iconic Packer players-Bart Starr and Paul Hornung, both of which saw their first cards in the 1957 Topps set.
But I think I'd choose one of the most beautiful cards I've ever seen. The 1950 Bowman Tony Canadeo. The Packer legend, and NFL Hall of Famer, is not well known to modern day football fans outside of Green Bay. They should be. Like a lot of the great baseball players of the era, Canadeo missed nearly two full years serving in World War II.
This card is gorgeous! I challenge anybody to find a football card with more eye appeal.
