1992–2002 Football Card Hot Auctions

The era's signature card is Tom Brady's 2000 Playoff Contenders rookie autograph #144, especially the Championship Ticket parallel, one of the most valuable football cards ever sold. His 2000 Bowman Chrome #236 is another key Brady rookie. Peyton Manning and Randy Moss (1998), plus the 2001 class of Drew Brees, LaDainian Tomlinson and Michael Vick, are other key rookies.

Late-90s inserts and parallels from brands like SkyBox and Playoff have become prized for their rarity and bold designs. Chrome and refractor cards from these years are prone to surface scratches and edge chipping, which makes high grades scarce.
