for 2011, which brand of football cards would be the best to get, or even brands of older cards?
I have a 4 inch ring binder filled with so many football cards no more will fit. I have upper deck, topps, prestige, Leaf, Score, and my favorite Bowman. Im mainly looking for rookie cards, which im thinking Bowman would be my best bet. But which brand do you think would contain the “Most” rookie cards? also the card shop I go to has brands and cards from past years I dont even know how farback, what year would you suggest to buy cards from?
bowman is the home of the rookie. so i would go for that although you will not generally get anything great. the prices will be high and there is very few cards. if you want to go cheap i would go with score. its a dollar a pack for seven cards and there is at least 1 rookie per pack. generally two. but bowman has better quality and its $3 for 5 cards i think. lots of rookies that you have not heard of. in score there is insert rookie cards to. last year i bought 6 packs and recieved a jimmy clausen,golden tate and,sam bradford. also there is one auto per box. generally not stud players but they are ok and score cards serial numberd out of 500. in those same 6 packs i got a pat white auto (miami qb)and a score card! many good rookies in 2010 so i would go for 2010 score. leaf is probably the best quality but the most expensive. buy pre 2011 cards on ebay,not in hobby shops! go for topps if you want many average and some star cards for an okay price. upper deck is your number 3 option in my opinion. if you by a hobby box you usually are guarrenteed a jersey card or auto or something else. upper deck is a good brand and with good value. i would go like this at a hobby shop… score,leaf,upper deck,bowman,topps.
