Top 8 Collectibles Cards For All The Football Fans

 



Since the AFL and NFL concluded their merger in 1970, people buy football cards online in bulk. In the late 1960s, football cards were a great example to demonstrate the changes that occur at that period with the two leagues. Several AFL stars finally entered the NFL in a smooth transition, so we felt to include those AFL cards as well.

Ranking the Top 8 cards can be a continually evolving operation, sparking tremendous debate and arguments. We want to pick the most appropriate individual cards, the ones that have made the greatest impact, and the cards that collectors would most likely communicate with instantly. Due to the legendary players on them, some cards are important, and fans buy football cards just for them.

1.      1963 Topps #44 Deacon Jones RC
 

The man who coined the word "quarterback sack" transformed the position at the defensive end. Jones performed before sacks became an official record, but is accredited unofficially with 173 career sacks, which would have been ranked third of all-time.

2.      1950 Bowman #43 Marion Motley RC

 

Marion Motley has been one of the most inept defensive players ever to play, with an average of 5.7 yards per game. As with the Cleveland Browns, he followed Jim Brown. His 1950 Bowman Rookie Card collection measures bout2 1/16-by-2 1/2 inches.

3.      1977 Topps #177 Steve Largent RC

Steve Largent is a seven-time Pro Bowler, having scored over 1,000 yards in a total of eight times. He played several years with Seattle making Seahawks fans even more appealing with his fan card.

4.      1973 Topps #89 Franco Harris RC

The Steelers offense's priority for much of the 1970's, Franco Harris raced into seven of his first eight seasons for at least 1,000 yards. His fan following gets larger by the day, and his fan card is among the best football collectibles. 

5.      1962 Topps #36 Ernie Davis SP RC

Ernie Davis was expected to join Jim Brown in the Cleveland backfield as the first black player to bring home the Heisman Trophy, but he died of leukemia when he was 23 years old. His Rookie Card is a snapshot of his tale of wonder.

6.      148 Leaf #52 Leo Nomellini RC

Leo Nomellini was one of the best all-time offensive linemen, playing until he was 39. He has been an All-Pro six times. This RC has a blue background version, and one with a white one.

7.      1990 Pro Set Lombardi Trophy Hologram

Using holograms to a card in the mid-nineties caught on quickly. The Lombardy Trophy card with explosions popping up all over the place is still a prized item with 10,000 copies still available.

8.   1935 National Chicle #34 Bronko Nagurski RC

Sport has its Honus Wagner, and football has this Bronko Nagurski. It was, and still holds immense importance, and is the most valuable football card ever produced for decades. He was a rough fullback for the Chicago Bears in the 1930s and a Hall of Fame charter member.
