February 7, 2019 By Rich Mueller

In a year when the football card market began to explode with new manufacturers, Score is the brand that emerged with the most long-term respect.  The brand is still alive, courtesy of Panini America, and the release of 2019 Score will offer some 30th anniversary touches when it arrives as the first major NFL-licensed product of next season. 2019 Score Football … [Read more...]

Underrated Rookies Highlight 1983 Topps Football Set

April 8, 2018 By Anson Whaley

The 1983 Topps football set doesn't include the big name rookies found in other 1980s sets. But it is an affordable set that's nearly 35 years old and includes some key players. Here's a closer look at the issue. 1983 Topps Football Basics Topps' focus appears to have shifted slightly in 1983. That year, they produced their smallest set in more than a decade. You have to go … [Read more...]

1980 Topps Football Kicked Off Exciting Decade Of Cards

November 6, 2017 By Anson Whaley

Let's face it. While the 1980s produced some significant football releases, the one to start that decade isn't heralded as a great one by most fans. The 1980 Topps football set is lacking quite a bit, particularly when it comes to key rookie cards. But other than being the first set of an important decade for football releases, there are some reasons to pursue this set. 1980 … [Read more...]

1985 Topps Football A Sleeper Set For Collectors

November 1, 2017 By Bob D'Angelo

1984 Topps Football Loaded With Key Rookies

April 16, 2017 By Bob D'Angelo

Dan Marino rookie card 1984 topps

The 1984 Topps football set is easily the most sought-after product of the 1980s and beyond, especially because of the great crop of rookies. Start with quarterbacks John Elway and Dan Marino; add running backs Eric Dickerson, Roger Craig and  Curt Warner; and throw in wide receivers Mark Duper and Willie Gault, and that’s quite a rookie card class. And on defense, … [Read more...]

Star of the 1981 Holsum Bread Football Set? Mustachioed Montana

January 25, 2017 By Rich Mueller

Joe Montana 1981 Holsum Gardners discs

An odd world we live in.  Football card collectors swoon over Joe Montana’s Topps rookie card and ignore not just a card that’s about 10,000 times harder to find but pictures the Hall of Famer in a sort of Fu Manchu style mustache.  Behold, ye unenlightened, the 1981 Holsum/Gardner’s football card set and its glorious depiction of a young quarterback on the … [Read more...]

1986 Topps Football Set Among Decade’s Most Memorable

September 6, 2016 By Anson Whaley

Thirty years ago, Topps produced a football card set in a baseball card era. As was generally the case then, the cards were never all that popular compared to their baseball counterpart and a lot of product went unsold. However, the 1986 Topps football set now stands out as one of the better products from the 1980s in any sport. 1986 Topps Football Basics Putting it bluntly, … [Read more...]

Top 10 Topps Football Cards of All-Time

March 28, 2016 By Rich Mueller

An era comes to an end this week as Topps wraps up its uninterrupted run of producing football cards.  They produced a set of Felt Backs in 1950, but Topps didn't go head first into football until the 1955 season when they issued the All-American set, which pictured former college greats.  Their NFL contract started the following season when commissioner Bert Bell got together … [Read more...]

Joe Montana Rookie Card Still Cool

February 19, 2015 By Rich Mueller

PSA 10 1981 Topps Joe Montana rookie

For fans who have followed the franchise since it rose to prominence in the early-1980s, it can be a bit hard to believe that more than three full decades have passed since the face of the franchise arrived in the Bay Area via the University of Notre Dame.
