1965 Topps #122 Joe Namath Rookie card (PSA 7)
High end Rookie cards are among the hottest cards in the hobby. One of those renowned inaugural cards belongs to Joe 'Willie" Namath with his iconic 1965 Topps subject presented here in an outstanding PSA 7 holder! This extraordinary "Broadway Joe" offering represents the pinnacle of card collecting. Most of the technical attributes of this rookie card gem are consistent with its appropriate "NM" assessment, starting with the ultra-popular image that exhibits immaculate clarity and contrast.

Namath's quintessential pose is set against a nearly flawless radiant yellow hued background as he prepares to launch another one of his perfectly spiraled passes. Typical with virtually all 'Namath" rookie cards is the somewhat skewed illustration, with this image favoring the left edge between four absolutely blinding white borders ("top to bottom" centering is near-perfect). Clean surfaces, right-angled corners and vivid print registration complete this majestic offering that synonymous with "Broadway Joe's" immortal football standing, will forever stand as one of the gridiron's most significant and valuable issues!
