Yes, it does have great eye appeal. No, I'm not doing the set. Namath has always been a favorite of mine. Him playing for the Jets got me interested in watching football.
He was not only one to watch on the field. His style and off field activities were interesting to follow in the newspaper. I wanted to be Broadway Joe.

His card is part of my NY sports characters collection. A collection within my collection. Athletes who are not only good at their game but also different, sometimes controversial with a style all their own.

I've been viewing for awhile now and decided that I should probably go ahead and share. Mine likely won't be high dollar items, but it's all about fun, right?

I write a blog, so if you ever want more info about it, feel free to click the link. Usually there's a backstory or something to go along with it.

I won't post everything I've acquired all at once, I'll spread them out.

At our local card show on Saturday, I picked up my submission from Beckett Grading. I submitted three for a friend and went ahead and put this one in.

If you want, you can read the blog post on it here. It also has a link to my first Beckett submission, which had a 1955 Bowman Frank Gatski in it.

Picked up this Thorpe for my set. I couldn't pass on this Lansford.

I definitely want to pick up one of those Lansfords, just so I can say that I have one.
