Joe Namath is now hitting the memorabilia circuit like Mickey Mantle did in the 1980s and 1990s.

My conclusion is the Joe Namath rookie card is extremly undervalued and will jump in price over this next decade.
Any thoughts on this?

btw I am a long time lurker, and this is my first post.

Quick bump because as pointed out in another thread!

This is proof that Joe Namath RC has some juice. He owned New York in the 1960s and 1970s.

And Mantle 8.5 sold for 1.135 million dollars. Namath will never be Mantle. Mantle won 7 championships, Namath won 1.

I think that the Joe Namath RC still has plenty of room to grow. PSA 7 examples are going for $5,000 - $6,000 USD, and that's nothing IMO. If you are going to pick one up, try to get one without the tilt.

Merry Christmas!

I wouldn't call it nothing. How many other 60s regular issue cards go for that much in a 7? Orr, anyone else?

Just 8 years ago it was a $1500-$2,000 card and stayed in that range for quite a long time. Not sure if the runup is sustainable....but it is an iconic card.
