If ever there was a Hall of Fame athlete known as much for his off-the-field persona and media interaction as his playing performance, it's definitely the animated Joe Willie Namath. His brazen guarantee of a victory in Super Bowl III when his Jets were an 18-point underdog against the juggernaut Baltimore Colts remains the stuff of legend to this day, and his continued antics made him the NFL's first media superstar. The offered example of his cherished rookie card, aptly issued in larger-than-life "Tall Boy" format, has been graded at the EX 5 level by BVG, but displays at a decidedly higher level with bold, fresh colors, clean borders and a noticeable lack of print overspray in the vibrant yellow backdrop.
