Just landed this Broadway Joe rookie card. Completes my M. Rushmore of football. An extremely difficult card to find with decent centering. I think this one presents very well for the grade.

    Nice centering on all of those! They all represent very well for the grades. Well done.

    Thanks. Much appreciated. This has been about 9 years in the making.

    Interesting seeing the 2 and 2.5 together as a comparison, because the Namath looks much better than a 2 from the front. How's the back?

    A little bit of scuffing/paper loss is all I can see wrong with the back. I do not have the card in hand as I am out town. Very harsh grade in my opinion. According to the seller no wrinkles or pinholes.

    JBRules…

    Exceptional centering w/o tilt on the Namath RC…very difficult to avoid that show stopper. Congrats on the Mount Rushmore of football…impressive group of cards!

    Are you going to get the Namath put into a PSA holder to have them all the same?

    Man, it's as good on the back. That thing is beautiful.

    Congratulations!

    Incredible pickup on the Namath.

    Would the 81 Montana or 86 Rice fit in over Johnny U? Or Maybe the 75 Payton?

    I think that those are the Mr Rushmore of all football cards not just yours. Very very nice

    Just wow on the Namath! I clearly have lost all touch with grading in the last 3 or 4 years. They all look under graded!

    Love the cards and the choices.

    Thanks Monte. I would have landed one these a long time ago if not for the centering/tilt issues.

    I just followed the Mt. Rushmore from the registry set. Certainly a case could be made for the above mentioned.

    I will most likely at some point crack it out and send it in to PSA. No hurry but I do like to having them all the same.

  • azvikeazvike Posts: 377 ✭✭✭

    if you do that, you may want to consider re-holdering all of the rest, so that they are all in the same "lighthouse" holders.

    Yep! PSA has several for sports and non-sports. Here are the ones I follow. Hope to knock off the basketball next. Baseball most likely will never happen and the hockey may happen some day way down the road.
