With the Baltimore Ravens emerging as perennial postseason threats, collectors are starting to look more to the team's stars. Ray Rice cards are on the rise as he cements his status as one of the NFL's top running backs.
After playing for Rutgers, Ray Rice was picked by Baltimore in the second round of the 2008 draft. He rushed for more than 1,000 yards in four of his first five seasons. During that time span, Rice was also selected for the Pro Bowl three times. Having signed a long-term deal with the Ravens prior to the 2012 season, he looks to be part of the franchise' s long-term plans.
There is no shortage of options when it comes to Ray Rice cards. He has more than three dozen rookie cards, which can range in price from a couple of dollars all the way up to hundreds. From a value perspective, 2008 Upper Deck Exquisite, 2008 Playoff National Treasures and 2008 SP Authentic are among the most expensive and coveted by collectors. For those on a tighter budget, 2008 Topps Chrome and 2008 Upper Deck are both nice cards.
While Rice is one of the NFL's better running backs, he still hasn't emerged as an elite hobby star. A Super Bowl victory will bring him a long way, as will a few more strong seasons.
