    Appreciate it. Its not as strong as my other PSA 5 namath but I do enjoy it. Im trying to find a solid 5 Butterfly Version. Thats becoming quite a task. I don't trust raw b/c ive been burnt on ebay by purchasing raw.

    I love that card soooo much!! Nice pickup!
  • Nice card image


    Why do you need more than one?

    I also have more than one, when it comes to my favorites, I have no idea why I do it... so I'm curious about others, investment maybe???

    what is the butterfly version of the namath? Never heard of that.

    Nice pickup by the way, that namath RC is tough to find in good grades.

    The Butterfly version has a small print error located on Namaths' Back of Hand. It is considered more rare than the corrected version. I have seen price premiums paid for this version. I guess it is like the "white letter" Mantle, so to speak.

    I just love this card and I guess I am crazy for having more than one now, but hey its a hobby and supposed to be fun right?
