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.

Exactly one year ago, NBA fans were eagerly awaiting the regular season debut of the 2009 No. 1 overall draft pick of the Los Angeles Clippers, Blake Griffin. It was the team’s final preseason game and Griffin had looked great during the preseason, averaging 13.7 points and 8.1 rebounds per game.

Then disaster struck.

On what appeared to have been a routine dunk, when Griffin landed, he broke his kneecap. This injury sidelined him for the entire 2009-10 season and set-back the start to what appeared to be a star-studded career for Griffin.

Fast forward to yesterday, one-year after the injury, surgery, and rehab – Blake was back. The anticipation of making his regular season debut must have been building up, as Griffin exploded for 20 points and 14 rebounds in the game.

The Hype is Building

With the hype building around the potential of Griffin, and his ability to show that he has came back stronger and very determined, a lot of cards have seen an exponential increase in price. Griffin has the greatest room for growth out of the star-packed 2009-10 rookie class, added to playing for a large media market in Los Angeles makes for a very potent formula to ensure a great return on investment for people looking to flip his cards.
