ffgameman's multi-sport rookie collection

As some of you know I have multiple (and varied) small collection; be it my lingering Sammy Sosa and David Wright collections, my ongoing Titans collection, and my completed 500 Home Run Club game-used card collection. One of my favorite collections consist of star rookies across baseball, football, and basketball. As far as I know, I've never showed these off together. None of these cards are "high-dollar", but the collection includes true rookies of stars and hall of famers.

Below is a link to what I have scanned of my collection. I'll show off a few cards every few days.

First, a few baseball RCs (in chronological order) and football.

1983 Topps Cal Ripken Jr.


1983 OPC Tony Gwynn


1983 Topps Wade Boggs


1984 Topps Don Mattingly


1985 Chong Modesto's Mark McGwire

#1 in consecutive starts:

1991 Pacific Brett Favre (damaged)


1991 Upper Deck Brett Favre


And, who was on track to be #1 but is now #2:

1998 Flair Showcase Peyton Manning


1998 Omega Peyton Manning (damaged)

I dont think they took centering into account on that Gwynn. Sweet collection and freaking awesome Favres

Diggin the McGwire

Great start to your PC

It's been a few days with no update by me. :lol:

This will come back around starting Sunday when vacation time gets here.

Vacation went by with no updates. :lol: I'm losing interest in collecting a little at the moment.

Regardless, here's an update.







And one of the poorest-centered Maddux rookies you will see:

how you just gonna talk shat about the all star grading co?

Really like the Puckett. Congrats.

Wow. This hasn't been updated in forever, and might not scan-wise since my new scanner is a pain. However, I'm currently adjusting an old "list" of my baseball rookies I found. I'll post the updated list once I add in new additions.

Here we go; for the most part, this list is updated. Some of the 07-current cards aren't true "rookies" but have the RC card logo.
