A.J. Green cards are favorites among collectors. An early 2011 draft pick, he has not disappointed. Historically, wide receivers have not started their careers with great success, but Green has been an exception to that rule. He has shown great chemistry with his quarterback, fellow rookie, Andy Dalton, and was the only offensive rookie named to the Pro Bowl in 2011.
The sky is the limit for the this amazing player and collectors should make moves to acquire A.J. Green cards and memorabilia before they take off. The only thing that will hold Green back in the hobby is that he is a wide receiver. Quarterbacks and running backs dominate the landscape of the industry and wide receivers usually fall in as second-tier players. Regardless, Green is already a major player in the crop of elite young receivers. He should stay a productive player and hobby favorite for years to come. For the time being, collectors in search of autographs will need to look to cards almost exclusively for the majority of Green's authentic signatures.
A.J Green has over 20 rookie cards available that will appeal to both budget and high-end collectors. There are still several products to be released before the end of the 2011 season, which will add to the count of rookie A.J. Green cards.
