What are the best rookie card products to get in football?

[dkossin]

I am new to football and may start to get a collection going. I do basketball and baseball and know that for basketball the top three rookie card auto brands are immaculate, flawless, and national treasures and for baseball it is bowman chrome. What are the top football products to buy?

Contenders

Then everything else.

But I'm also biased as I just like the consistency of Contenders for the last 10 years and I don't really care for RPA's

[Skootown]

Contenders, Chrome, and NT are the big 3. Flawless as well now I guess.

Unfortunately ripping Chrome is horrible this year, waaaaay overproduced.

Topps chrome

[ChicoCheese]

IMO, Topps Chrome, Contenders, and NT (due to SPA no longer being NFL.)

[dkossin]

so topps chrome is the best?

IMO yes, but Contenders is right there also.

Contenders and Chrome hold the best value. There are a lot of Nay Sayers about this years chrome, but it will still hold its value just like any other years chrome. Chrome holds nice value from all sports. Basketball and Football seem to the be the best. Some of the better rookies from Chrome sellers for a lot. Especially getting them graded.
