Changed alot what should I be looking for?

Autograph cards, numbered cards, jersey cards. Anything else is worthless

Either plan on doing this stuff just for fun or plan on investing a lot of money. You're not getting "nice" stuff for cheap anymore. It's not a kids game.

I don't do football, but what I decided to do a few years ago was to just pick a list of players that I like for whatever reason (Most on my list are either favorites from when I was a kid or locals).

Trevor Lawrence Rookie Card

I use to be a big football card collector when I was a kid, then I guess my younger teen years I stopped.. But then one day, I think I was in my early 20s, I decided to by a box of football cards (I can't even remember the type), but I do have a Ronnie Lott card that has a piece of game worn jersey in the card.

At one point I had a Michael Irvin rookie card. When I was a kid, one of my friends bought the the set of the first year score came out with football cards and it included Barry Sanders rookie card. That's the same year Troy Aikman, Derrick Thomas... I think Deon Sanders, etc were drafted as well.

Stay away from any player in the nfl that played for alabama. Those cards are worthless

I'm still clinging to hope that my 1991 Donruss complete baseball set will put my kids through college.

Okay, I collected during the junk wax era. I had five monster boxes of cards at one point, but dumped them all when I was in high school, crica 1996/97. I saved maybe a hundred or so. When my son was around ten he started wanting Topps cards (2013). I hadn't followed the game for about seven years, and knew none of the players. I looked at the hobby again and was overwhelmed by the amount of stuff out there. So basically he just collected whatever made him happy. He lost most of his interest after a couple of years.

So, prepare thy anus. This hobby has changed a lot.

If you buy a $1200.00 box of football cards, you deserve to get dick slapped in the face by every dude transitioning in America.

I have some old football and baseball cards that would be valuable but are worthless, from the 60’s and maybe 50’s that were my dads. Unfortunately he has not recently become a dumbass, he’s been that way most of his life, because the cards are GLUED to the pages of an old 1 subject notebook.
