Lot # 2514: 1965 Topps Football Complete Set (176)

Complete set of 1965 Topps Football, one of the most popular and classic of all football-card sets, highlighted by the rookie card of Joe Namath! The 1965 Topps Football set is packed with Hall of Famers, rookies, and extremely tough-to-find short prints. Condition is 27% Ex-Mt to Nr/Mt and 73% Vg-Ex to Ex (including a few lesser). Both checklists have been professionally graded and encapsulated by PSA. Keys: #35 Kemp SP (Vg-Ex+), 46 Brown RC (15/85 T/B, otherwise Ex), 69 Blanda SP (Vg), 87 Checklist SP (EX-MT 6), 99 Dawson SP (Ex+), 121 Maynard (Ex-Mt+), 122 Namath RC (PSA deemed evidence of trimming, otherwise Vg-Ex), 133 Biletnikoff RC (PSA deemed min. size requirement not met, otherwise Ex), 137 Davidson RC (Ex), 145 Otto (Vg-Ex+), 155 Alworth (Vg+), and 176 Checklist SP (NM-MT 8). The oversized design of the 1965 Topps Football set makes this issue particularly susceptible to damage and makes the assembly of high-quality sets all the more difficult. This is a very attractive medium to high-grade complete set, far above average for this issue, with excellent eye appeal across the board. Total: 176 cards.
