🏈 9 GREAT ROOKIE FOOTBALL CARDS THAT NEVER WERE!

We listed off 9 Great Rookie Basketball Cards That Never Were (and 13 Others) in a previous issue, and it was easily one of our most popular posts so far. It was a list of rookie cards we were robbed of seeing, for whatever reason, and now we’re turning our attention to the football card world, since the 2024 NFL season is about to launch! In some cases, these players got rookie cards, just not in the season they should have gotten them, or in the product that should have celebrated them!

We also go back to Patrick Imhoff for another way Fanatics can be fixed before they get all three major sports card licenses in 2026! Imhoff shares his thoughts on Redemption Cards this time, and how he’d make everyone happy – from collectors to Fanatics!

Ebay shares some of their football search stats with us, and gives us an preview on the four most-searched football players from last season, which should roll over into this year!

Finally, we look at yet another amazing entry into our list of “Cards That Make Us Happy!” with a football rookie card for the ages. We don’t want to spoil it – but the player’s name rhymes with Schmeyton Schmanning!
