All this talk of Brady being the GOAT makes me giggle. Most accomplished? Yes. Greatest to ever play? LOL, not even close.

Brady is "not even close" to being the greatest of all time?

Let me guess, unbiased "Milwaukee Bill" will argue that Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre were better.

Will Namath even be football relevant in 50 yrs?
Besides some NY kids who may have had fathers who idolized Namath, I don't get the sense any Millennial or younger know or care who he is nor will care about any of the stories, etc. What was considered flamboyant and outrageous back then probably sounds tame and lame compared to the trouble modern athletes get into today and the ease in which its documented in social media.
I wonder if Sammy Baugh's lack of price movement in the past decade is a good analogy indicator of how Namath's cards will perform once all the Boomers who saw him play are no longer around driving demand and prices up. |

3 things he got going for him. 1. Most of his fans will still be around in 50 years, while Mantle`s will be long gone. 2. Brady is very active on social media like Instagram, and there are way more youtube videos of Tom Brady in color than Mantle. 3. Tom Brady plays for the NFL which is a much bigger sport than the MLB. |

1. Mantle has a strong fan base among the same age group as Brady's fan base. Mantle has already shown the ability to be relevant to generations that never saw him play. 2. This could change very easily when Brady retires. Will he be able to stay in the limelight or will he be forgotten for the next hot rookie of SB MVP? Will he sign at card shows like Mantle did for years? 3. NFL is more popular now, but NFL cards are by far the least collected of the 3 main sports. Also, the NFL could easily lose its popularity. The kneeling during the national anthem has hurt its popularity. The problems with CTE threatens the game long term. |

2) How many videos can you find of Cobb and the others? I found one Cobb video now on YouTube that is just over two minutes long and that's it. The number of videos someone has on the Internet is totally irrelevant to collectors. 3) Then why is this football forum so dead? Also, how many football cards do you see getting exchanged in the BST? Last edited by samosa4u; 12-26-2019 at 10:00 AM. Reason: Spelling |
