The 1965 Topps Football card set is one of the most classic sets of all time. The 1965 Topps Joe Namath rookie card (#122) ranks among the hobby elite regardless of sport. Frequently referred to as Tall Boys, the cards measure 2-1/2 by 4-11/16 inches. In addition to the Namath, other Hall of Fame rookies include Willie Brown (#46) and Fred Biletnikoff (#133). Other rookies appearing in the set are Pete Gogolak (#30), Winston Hill (#116), John Huarte (#117) and Ben Davidson (#137). The set boasts several eventual Hall of Fame players such as Nick Buoniconti (#3 ) EX, George Blanda (#69) EX, Bobby Bell (#91) EX, Buck Buchanan (#94) EX, Len Dawson (#99) EX-MT, Don Maynard (#121) EX-MT, Jim Otto (#145) EX, Lance Alworth (#155) EX and Ron Mix (#168) EX-MT. The Joe Namath has been graded EX-MT 6 which is an above average grade for this very condition sensitive card and set. The vibrant color shows though on this beauty with slight centering issues left to right. The Fred Biletnikoff is graded EX-MT 6 with nice centering left to right and color that pops as if the card were just pulled from a fresh pack.
