Yesterday, we brought you the Top 10 list of Colin Kaepernick Rookie Cards. Today, we are going to focus on Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco. Flacco has been the starter for Baltimore since his 2008 rookie year, after being drafted in the first round out of the University of Delaware. Flacco has a huge frame, standing at 6’6″ and weighing 250 lbs, making his body the prototypical size for a NFL quarterback. What makes him even more special is his arm strength, which typically assists in most of Joe’s down field big plays.

Currently his cards are at a much more affordable level than his counterpart Kaepernick, but that won’t last if Joe is the one holding up the trophy at the end of the game.

Just in time for Superbowl 47, the sports card hobby has had a new superstar born. Colin Kaepernick stood in the shadows of Alex Smith most of his 2011 rookie season, taking a total of five snaps in live action. The athletic quarterback, who was draft in the 2nd round of the 2011 NFL Draft from the Universty of Nevada, received his chance to play after starting quarterback Alex Smith was sidelined due to an injury.

The outcome?

10 straight victories for the San Francisco 49ers, including a trip to the playoffs, and now a starting gig at the Superbowl. Not a bad few months for kid who previously had logged more hours holding the clip board than holding a football.

This years release of Contenders Football marks the 20th anniversary of the set. Over the last 20 years, this set has included some of the most iconic rookie cards in the hobby, with each year passing the cards becoming more desirable and collectible.

With the rookie crop that we have had in 2012 mixed with the milestone set for Contenders, we think that this is going to be a very hot product.

The set is going to consist of 100 base cards, and 100 Rookie Ticket Autographs. 35 of those Rookie Ticket Autographs will be players who attended this years Rookie Photo Shoot. Each box will contain at least 5 autographs, with two of them being on-card RPS Rookie Ticket Autographs. I am guessing that players to be included in the on-card RPS Rookie Tickets will be:

• Joe Adams WR Panthers
• Dwayne Allen TE Colts
• Justin Blackmon WR Jaguars
• Ryan Broyles WR Lions
• Michael Egnew TE Dolphins
• Coby Fleener TE Colts
• Michael Floyd WR Cardinals
• Nick Foles QB Eagles
• Chris Givens WR Rams
• T.J. Graham WR Bills
• Robert Griffin III QB Redskins
• Stephen Hill WR Jets
• Ronnie Hillman RB Broncos
• T.Y. Hilton WR Colts
• LaMichael James RB 49ers
• A.J. Jenkins WR 49ers
• Andrew Luck QB Colts
• Doug Martin RB Buccaneers
• Lamar Miller RB Dolphins
• Brock Osweiler QB Broncos
• Isaiah Pead RB Rams
• Bernard Pierce RB Ravens
• DeVier Posey WR Texans
• Brian Quick WR Rams
• Ruben Randle WR Giants
• Trent Richardson RB Browns
• Mohamed Sanu WR Bengals
• Ryan Tannehill QB Dolphins
• Nick Toon WR Saints
• Robert Turbin RB Seahawks
• Brandon Weeden QB Browns
• David Wilson RB Giants
• Russell Wilson QB Seahawks
• Jarius Wright WR Vikings
• Kendall Wright WR Titans

Without a doubt, I am sure that Panini will include some type of gimmick in the set for either short print rookie tickets or alternative photo rookie ticket autographs, much like they have done in the past.

Contenders is set to release on January 23, 2013.

It’s like the stars have aligned, the moon is full, and Halley’s Comet just stormed by.

Three of the largest, and probably most sought after, 2011 Topps Chrome Football Rookie Superfractor Autographs have been listed on eBay within days of each other.
