Graded 88 NM/MT 8 by SGC. Hall of Famer, in his Rookie Card appearance. Among more than 430 copies recorded in SGC's census reporting, only eight examples (less than two percent of the total population) have achieved a higher tier. Presented here is a superb specimen of the short-printed card that constitutes one of the football collecting specialty's greatest challenges. The Namath rookie is deservedly regarded as a formidable obstacle for those pursuing a 1965 set, and it's a condition scarcity to enthusiasts who insist on the highest standard of appearance. Simply, the difficulty in trying to properly satisfy this important spot in a collection can seem almost insurmountable. The offered Namath debut collectible boasts impeccable depth in its background color, outstanding registration for the 1965 "SP" category, and a distinctive absence of the production's usual print imperfections and overspray. Immensely pleasing Near Mint to Mint condition.
