ROOKIE NAMATH!!! One of the most renowned gridiron rookie cards belongs to Joe Namath, with his iconic 1965 Topps inaugural subject presented here in a breathtaking SGC 7.5 NM+ holder! Locating a high-grade 1965 Topps #122 Namath Rookie can be a painstaking chore. The legendary New York Jets Hall of Fame quarterback guaranteed a Super Bowl III victory over the mighty Baltimore Colts, backing up his bold claim and forever changing professional football. When he led the upstart Jets to the impossible, upsetting the Baltimore Colts 16-7 in Super Bowl III, Namath ended the NFL's dominance over the AFL. Presented here is Namath's 1965 Topps Rookie in an SGC 7.5, with Joe's quintessential pose set against a flawless, radiant yellow background. A modest partiality towards the upper right edges as well as an ever-so-slight tilt are evident. Additional pack-fresh attributes include four sharp corners, four dazzling white borders, brilliant surfaces, and vivid print registration. The 1965 Topps #122 Namath stands among other iconic NFL rookie issues such as the 1935 National Chicle Nagurski, 1957 Topps Unitas, 1958 Topps Brown, 1976 Topps Payton, 1981 Topps Montana, and multiple Tom Brady examples.
