Footballs Most Forgotten Cards Top 5

rogueriver · 08-07-2021, 04:03 PM

OK this should be interesting, what are you top 5 Football cards that are the most forgotten... These would be Hobby Superstar cards that would have been on the hotlist for a while and now nobody cares about.
Here are some of mine not in any order
1. Score Bo Jackson Football Baseball (I know it is out of a baseball series )
2. Kurt Warner 1999 Pacific with Horn
3. 1993 SP Drew Bledsoe.
4. Select Certified Terrell Davis Rookie
5. Pro Set Santa Claus

Easily Drew Bledsoe 1993 SP

49erRCCollector · 08-07-2021, 04:07 PM

We all still talk about the Bledsoe - I even have a pack pulled one and I don't collect non-Niners.

The Select Certified T. Davis was a HOT card for a while, now an afterthought.

rogueriver · 08-07-2021, 04:16 PM

The Bledsoe card and the Finest Grant Hill rookie is what came to mind when I started this thread and the one in basketball I thought it would be fun....

jplarson · 08-07-2021, 04:20 PM

1. 1990 Pro Set Jeff George
2. 1993 SP Drew Bledsoe
3. 2001 SP Authentic Michael Vick
4. 2007 Contenders Jamarcus Russell
5. 2010 Contenders Tim Te...... Sam Bradford

TheFrenzy · 08-07-2021, 04:24 PM

Wasn’t there an Aaron Brooks RC that blew up for a while and was all over the Beckett Hot List?

The_Reverend · 08-07-2021, 04:36 PM

I actually still have a couple of the Bledsoe SP Rookie cards.

BGT Masters · 08-07-2021, 04:41 PM

1997 Ultra Duce Staley and Marcus Robinson.

That 1993 SP Drew Bledsoe is an all-timer, for sure. I still remember the day I picked up my first raw one and couldn't believe I was holding one in my hand. It was such a special card.

I'm going to definitely add the 1995 Select Certified Mirror Gold Terrell Davis to the mix. That entire Mirror Gold set is underappreciated and has some solid rookies in it, including several HOF'ers.

I want to give a shout out to the 1994 SP Marshall Faulk, which still feels undervalued. Twice upon a time, Faulk was a massive superstar in the world of collecting. Once when he won ROY with the Colts in 1994 and then again during his Greatest Show On Turf days in St. Louis. His stuff is super cheap for how impactful he was.

2000 SPX Shaun Alexander should get some mention. Alexander was a HOF'er in the making and that card was white hot for a few years. He fell off the cliff so quickly, but that card was one to own and a huge seller at shows.

Another one that time has all but forgotten about is another RB who fell off the cliff so quickly. 1996 Topps Chrome Eddie George. That card was everyone's list of top modern rookies during the late 90's until the wheels fell off in the early 2000's due to being overworked (thanks, Jeff Fisher). You can get that card in dollar bins now, but it was a huge deal for a long time in the late 90's.

2001 Quincy Carter Contenders SP

ReggieBush22 · 08-07-2021, 06:15 PM

No love for the 1990 Pro Set Lombardi Trophy card? Everyone was pulling packs to get that card. Although it was 10,000 production, it was considered super rare back then as it was in the peak of the mass production era.

monkeymcgee · 08-07-2021, 06:39 PM

Not as long ago, but those Sam Bradford NT RPAs were on fire back in the day

I wish the Vick was forgotten. Been trying to find one at a decent price for a long time.

tjforce · 08-07-2021, 09:26 PM

Here's one....

This card came out right around the time Manziel got his first NFL snap against Buffalo and led the Browns down the field for a TD.

I remember thinking how if things worked out for him, this card would take off and never come back.

Things didn't work out for him.

marinocollector · 08-07-2021, 09:34 PM

1999 Spx Shaun king
1999 playoff contenders Justin Watson

oplum29 · 08-07-2021, 09:49 PM

there's no way the Bledsoe should be on the list.

the 93 SP Bledsoe was the key high dollar rookie card explosion of the early 90s. in two seasons, his card dominated the hot list for almost 5 years, so i strenuously object!

I remember the set but not the player. He was the Notre Dame guy that played for Seattle right?

I pulled that as a kid at my lcs...we all went nuts. I turned down $500 trade for it that day, still have it to this day lol. Worth what, $50?
