Description: Untitled 1 1973 Topps Football #400 Joe Namath (Hall of Famer), PSA 10 GEM MT Pop 18 – Rarely Seen for Sale! “We’re going to win the game. I guarantee it.” – Joe Namath responding to a heckler at a Miami sports banquet three days before Super Bowl III Leading the Alabama Crimson Tide to a National Championship in 1964, legendary coach Paul “Bear” Bryant referred to Namath as “the greatest athlete I ever coached.” No player better represents the NFL and AFL Draft bidding wars as Namath was selected in the first round by the NFL’s St. Louis Cardinals and on the same day, was the overall first pick by the AFL’s New York Jets in the upstart league’s 1965 draft. The 1965 AFL Rookie of the Year was twice named the league’s Most Valuable Player and was the first professional quarterback to pass for 4,000 yards in a single season. To date, no other Jets quarterback has accomplished this feat. Cementing his legacy by delivering on the guarantee of a Jets victory over the heavily favored Baltimore Colts, “Broadway Joe” became an advertising and cultural icon as a noted bachelor playing in the nation’s media capital. No football player has ever come close to capturing the hearts and minds of male and female fans with his play on the field, and personality off, as Namath stands alone as the most collected and valued in his sport from the mid-1960s through the early 1970s. MINT State is proud to present all nine cards from the second current finest and fourth all-time finest Joe Namath Basic Set on the PSA Set Registry, “SRC Joe Willie Namath Gridiron Gallery.” This listing is for Namath’s 1973 Topps and final regular issue, one of only eighteen examples graded PSA GEM MT 10.
