This is the 1952 topps mantle of football cards . Both have a scarcity legend around them. They both depict New York legends. It show the power of simply being a pop culture icon can do. Because as Peter stated Mantle was a far better baseball player then Nameth was a football player.
Now I'm to young to have seen any one of these guys. I grew up it a house that was New York teams as the favorite. I heard more about Namath then Mantle . I grew up with my grandparents,we were all Giants fans.so I guess there must have been something about him back then.
