How big is Tom Brady compared to Joe Namath?
Cowboys-Patriots was the most-watched regular-season NFL game in over a decade https://www.aol.com/article/news/201...cade/23867644/ The game received a 19.5/40 metered rating. That was the highest rating for a regular-season NFL game since 2007, according to Fox Sports. Sorry Namath fans but Tom Brady has dethroned Broadway Joe. That`s the facts.

I think because of the relative lack of interest in football history, it wouldn't surprise me at all for modern cards to rise to the top of the rankings of valuable football cards. That said, I think the vintage collector would spend on a Namath or Chicle Nagurski over an expensive modern card. I think some market segmentation has to be recognized - I have a few modern cards, but I don't even know what year or set the Brady rookie comes from. If no one collected cards of players from before they were born, T206s would have crashed by now.

I also think the baby boomer New York is in play here with Namath like it is with Mickey Mantle. Should be interesting to see how it is in 10 more years when those baby boomer New York fans are very old or unfortunately have passed on. ps. Sorry for being morbid but my late grandfather was the biggest Hopalong Cassiday and Roy Rogers fan around, but when he passed we sold his collection for pennies on the dollar. No one really was caring about those old icons, Another incident was my 82 year old uncle died and left me over 1000 78 records. Couldn't get $10 for them so just donated them for free. So I am betting on the younger Brady fanbase to outlast the NY baby boomers of the 1960s in the long run. Last edited by MRSPORTSCARDCOLLECTOR; 11-27-2019 at 06:03 AM. |

I can definitely see the Namath/Mantle comparison.
A better question may be a Brady v. a Chicle Nagurski - since it isn't really fans who saw Nagurski play buying that one. |

Brady won 6 Superbowls and Namath won one. It`s just shows the power of those baby boomers from New York. The same boomers that put Mantle over Willie Mays, Jackie Robinson, Hank Aaron and Roberto Clemente. Their power is waning though. We will see in 10 years. tick tock tick tock . lol. |

I think it comes down to this.
Who has all the records and the Super Bowl wins and the longevity...Brady. Who was more fun and exciting to watch...Namath Who would I choose if I had one game to win with my life on the line...Montana. |
