1965 Topps Joe Namath

This 1965 Topps Joe Namath rookie card is the first card of the all time football legend. Part of the 1965 Topps AFL football card set, this card is simply one of the best football cards of all time and perhaps one of the top post war cards in any sport. This rookie card could sell for thousands of dollars in the right condition and very few collectors are lucky enough to have this card in their collections. Though Namath was one of the top quarterbacks in the league year after year and he was a two time AFL MVP, Broadway Joe's renown regularly surpassed his on the field accomplishments. Namath sealed his enduring fame when he guaranteed a New York Jets victory in Super Bowl III and delivered the win. Like Mickey Mantle baseball collectibles, sometimes the most highly valued collectibles are a result of the player's popularity as opposed to their accomplishments compared to other players of their era.
