In the football cards, Playoff Contenders has always been one of the top products of the year, especially for rookies. The rookie autographs from players like Peyton Manning, Randy Moss and Tom Brady carry high premiums. The rare parallels of these cards make them even more desirable. As aCowboys fan, I was able to get this PSA 9 Zeke Elliott rookie Contenders autograph for a remarkably low price. Yes, I would prefer a card in a PSA 10 and grade But for now, I’m happy to have this one.

Running backs run so hard that when that drop happens, they fall off a cliff, their numbers really decline. Except for a few people like Emmitt, Payton, Frank Gore, AP, Curtis Martin, Derrick Henry, they tend to bottom out. Often, card values tank. Which is fine with me. It allows me to get cool cards of some of my favorite players at a reasonable cost. Prime Zeke was a BEAST. And this is a sweet gold vinyl Prizm with a BGS 10 grade. I don’t have any black labels, so this might be my only BGS 10. As a Cowboys fan, happy to have this in my long term PC.
