1986–87 Daily Mirror Football Card Paul Gascoigne PSA 5
This Paul Gascoigne card originates from the 1986–87 Daily Mirror Football issue, distributed through the national newspaper and recognised as Gascoigne’s true rookie card. It coincides with his first full professional season at Newcastle United, marking the start of one of England’s most celebrated football careers.
Graded PSA 5 (Very Good to Excellent), this card is part of an extremely limited PSA population — only 25 examples have been graded in total. Due to the fragile newspaper-style paper stock, surviving cards in presentable condition are rarely seen, particularly those encapsulated by PSA.
Gascoigne’s performances for Newcastle soon led to moves to Tottenham Hotspur, Lazio, and Rangers, followed by a distinguished international career with England, highlighted by his impact at the 1990 World Cup and Euro 96.
