2004 SPx Football PROMO cards
*** VERY SCARCE ***
These very scarce unreleased 2004 SPx Football PROMO cards
were made by Upper Deck for Krause Publications to be used at a major
sportscard show. Krause did not attend the show and these cards were
never released.
We obtained them years later at a large warehouse auction.
They are so scarce that I have never seen complete sets or even large
lots elsewhere.
When singles are found on eBay, even commons ask $1 to $3 each.

1957 Topps Football Cards Checklist & Values
In 1957 Topps created the modern day card by reducing the size of
cards to current standard 2-1/2 x 3-1/2 inches. Topps also increased
the set to 154 players and dramatically changed card format to a horizontal
split-card. Player selection was awesome with (31) future Hall-of-Famers.
1957's top rookies were Bart Starr, Johnny Unitas & Paul Hornung.
The only variation is card #58 Willard Sherman.

Are sports cards valuable ?
Like all collectibles, over time some sports cards go down in value,
others go up and some can even become very valuable.
Card values are based on many factors:
player popularity, scarcity, condition & collector interest.
A card can be scarce but without demand value may not be great.
Q: What are some ways to collect cards ?
* Complete sets by year & issue
* Cards of your favorite player
* Cards of your favorite team "TEAM SETS"
* Rookie cards
* Hall-of-Famer cards
* I even had a girlfriend that collected Don Mossi (checkout his ears),
players whose last name start with "Z", and the Brett brothers George &
Ken (she had a crush on George).
* "TYPE COLLECTING" (everyone should at least do a little of this !)
"Type Collecting"
is collecting at least one of each different "type" of issue.
On scarcer issues you can add a less expensive common
while on others you can select your favorite player or team.
