I am sooooo happy to have you back! You were definitely missed!

[@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR]

Oh thank you! I appreciate the feedback, Andie!

[@KevinSmith-rd4ex]

I have a lot of these cards, not 9 or 10 but my dad and I went to shops and shows on weekends as a kid trying to find our favorite players. My collection may not pay off my mortgage but my collection is very meaningful to me. It's a hobby first!

[@kevinmaddog3064]

Yep

[@TheOldCanon]

Thanks for the football countdown Matt! Hope you keep this updated as the years go by, thanks again!

[@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR]

You bet, Aaron! I love making these lists and will continue making them as the prices update. New records are being set almost every week it seems!

Great football card video, Please do more football card content. 👍

[@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR]

Thanks, Dave! More to come!

[@sfisportscards8323]

Awesome video Matt! Learned a lot from your channel back in the day before I started making videos. Also glad to have won some cards on your breaks! Always a pleasure dude!

[@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR]

That's awesome, man! I appreciate the continued support and feedback. Also, for participating in those breaks! Congrats on getting a channel started and videos posted too! It's a lot of work but a great skill to master and fun too!

Some of the vintage are so beautiful, with the retro colors

[@aaronr7506]

Great to have you back!

[@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR]

Thanks, Aaron! 🙏🏻

[@Cards-In-The-Closet]

Thanks for the football content! It’s hard to find content creators that cover football. I have 22 of the cards on your list and have multiples of some😊 There’s no way they are 10s though. Even the Montana and Payton I pulled from packs and put directly into card savers are too far off center.

[@ervingdrjandkailynerving7819]

A black lable Barry Sanders impressive.

[@raiderslakersfan7518]

Hard to believe tom brady isn't #1, glad your back with videos.

[@mikeaustin1323]

Lakers are garbage

[@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR]

Brady will be on the "modern-day" football rookie card list. Even though he just retired, I felt the need to leave him off this list due to him still being active. Thanks for the feedback!

Could you please tell which auction company made the sale? If not no worries. Thanks

[@marlon82mc]

Just gotta say, the 1984 Topps USFL Reggie White and Steve Young are their *PRO* rookie cards.

[@PhuryousOne]

If that Jim Brown sells today, it might hit a million.

[@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR]

I could it breaking $500,000 easily. Especially considering how few of them there are!

What happened to Tom Brady on this list. He has rookie cards that sell for a lot more than some of these cards do.

[@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR]

Back in the saddle! I'll have some low hanging fruit videos here in the future. This market is still wonky and the grading companies are currently battling to see who can lower their prices as close to $0 as possible 😆 so I'm waiting for the right time.

I had joe montana , Dan marino and complete sets of the u.s.f.l sets true rookies to young white walker i still had the topps rookie set i collected for so long went without lunck to buy cards im 46 yrs old but my aunt had hers and gave to me in 2000 i sold them all four couple hundred bucks because i was a heroin addict maaaan hard lesson to lear they also spelled his last name wrong bret favre

[@LoLGemmaTheSuperKitty]

good stuff sir

[@kjbadass]

Hello, thank you for the video I have a question for you. I have 2 of those cards that you have listed. I have a Jerry rice Rookie card Tops And Joe Montana Ricky card Both of these cards are not Created I want to send them to PSA I've never done that. Is it safe? And it's the option the only option to get the most money out of selling the Cards Thank you for your time my name is. Kenny Nabors

[@SECRETCINEMALOSANGELES]

Dropped the PSA from the title did they have a fit over using the company name

[@kbooger20]

Alan Page was a MN supreme court justice, that's gotta count for something more than that rank...

[@terryducre9294]

Love that Let's go

[@robertcremeens3166]

Glad to see you keep the current meme QB's off your list for now. Maybe in 5 years go back and check on them, ha. Great Vid & enjoyed it. Also I think there are some great FB cards out there that are not the meme QB's and not these rare graded Rookies, but other non rookie years of rare other Football. I think FB is the least appreciated of the sports card world except for the modern QB's.

[@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR]

haha, yeah, I wanted this list to be "pure" with the legends. I do plan on making a modern-day football rookie card list though. The prices are going to be crazy on that! 👀

[@JohnSmith-it4sv]

Hoping my guy Marcus Allen would squeak in the top 50😅

[@catherinedurdovicrude3918]

and it's misspelled on the card. is this an error?

[@raymoreci3847]

Looks like Terry Bradshaw bought his own card.

[@justinmonaco7530]

If anyone is interested in that Favre stadium club, I’ve got a mint one from a binder in my attic that had the full set

[@Cards-In-The-Closet]

The one he showed was given out at the Super Bowl, not part of the original set.

[@verl20]

Back to PSA collector again??

Yep!

Darn wish I had better rookies of rice young b smith Elway and others I have.

@@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR How's the family? I tried contacting you when Daddy Yankee was coming near you. He's retiring that's his last tour. I was going to have him leave tickets 🎟 for his concert. I have graded over 15,000 cards for SGC!

[@FrankBeingFrank]

I’m not a Brady fan but I’m shocked he wasn’t on the list and high up on it to boot… I know he didn’t have the most rookie cards out their but I remember them selling for a shit ton especially during the pandemic Shows what I know lol

[@BrianK-zz4fk]

video was made while he was still playing thus has to be number 1 because a 6th round draft pick doesnt get much production. The rare ones easy 6 figures.

[@DRTOLLZ]

so when did he go back to PSA Collector? Didn't he have to switch his name prior?

[@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR]

Hmm... about maybe 10 or 20 days ago. I am the PSA Collector. 👍🏻

[@DRTOLLZ]

@@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR how’d they let you use their name again? Wasn’t that why you changed it before.

[@LeeCopus]

Don Hudson #41 was a roockie for Packers in 1935 not 1955.

[@ChazJizzholm]

Anyone that has experience in this area and may be willing to take a look at a few cards I found while organizing my older cards last weekend. I came across multiple 1986 Jerry Rice 161 cards. All in protective sleeves or cases. None have been graded. I'm not looking to make an insane amount of money i mostly am concerned with making a bad choice due to lack of experience with older cards. Thanks in advance for your time.

The interesting thing about this card is that his last name is spelled wrong.

[@CT-gj1ou]

Nothing is a 10, let’s be real, I bet I can find flaws on all those so called 10’s. How many time do you see an off centered 10’s graded by PSA? And that’s just one thing you can see without magnifying.

[@LambeauLeeeper]

Lmao thanks Karen

[@chrisolivo6591]

For anyone posting in the comments, you can only have 5 NFL cards in your collection (vintage or modern), what would they be? Here’s mine: 1958 Topps Jim Brown 1965 Topps Joe Namath 1976 Topps Walter Payton 1981 Topps Joe Montana 2000 Bowman Chrome Tom Brady

Great list except I would include the 1981 Topps Joe Montana... :)

@@david4077-d6x lol. I just changed it to Montana. Brain fart!

Yep, that's my top 5 cards as well. Brady will be on the next list of "modern-day rookies", so instead of him at 4 I would have the 1957 Topps Johnny Unitas. Cheers!
