This lot features the 1967 Philadelphia FB Sam Baker – #134 PSA 8.5! Eagles! ---

He played college football at Oregon State University and spent the 1949 season on the OSU rookie team. Baker lettered for the varsity team in 1950–1952 as a running back/kicker, and scored the final touchdown at old Bell Field in the final 1952 home game. In his career at Oregon State University, Baker gained 1,947 yards on 487 carries and was the school record-holder in both categories when he left. He still currently ranks eighth in career yards, and sixth in career carries. He had five 100-yard games, with a best of 159 on 30 carries in the 1951 Civil War at Hayward Field.

 He was drafted in the eleventh round (133rd overall) of the 1952 NFL Draft by the Los Angeles Rams. Baker then played one season for the Washington Redskins in 1953. After two seasons off the field, Sam rejoined the team in 1956. In that season, his 17 field goals led the NFL. That year he also began an 11-year streak of averaging at least 40 yards per punt attempt.
