Hi all,

Forgive the ignorance here as I am mostly a basketball card collector. I recently had the idea of setting aside a card or two of my favorite players in every sport growing up. I'm doing this mostly to help tell my kid about what watching sports was like for me when I was his age (and as a way to help introduce him to the hobby when he is old enough). For football, I grew up really cheering for Peyton Manning (on Colts) and Kurt Warner (on Rams).

I am trying to do this on a relatively tight budget (thinking around $5 a card on COMC or Sportlots or something like that). I wanted to reach out to see if any die-hard collectors might have thoughts on awesome-looking cards/images on cards/sets to look for with these guys. I know very little about football collecting so was planning to default to brands like Topps Chrome, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to see if someone had a suggestion for a really good-looking base card or cheap insert.

Thanks in advance!

There are lots of cool 2nd year cards of each player. 1999 for Manning and 2000 for Warner.

I'd go on COMC and sort by lowest price - maybe filter to serial-numbered for cool inserts. GL!

Warner has a 2017 HOF Prizm that has a pick of his Canton bust. That is a cool one for like $1-2. I agree with sort by price and buy what you like. I’ve picked up some Manning Score RCs for less than $10 still and really like that set as well

Thanks both! Good call on 2nd year stuff, ronaldkosh. Really like the 2017 Warner image, Tiger23!
