The 20 Hottest 2012 Topps Football Cards
2012 Topps Football uses the theme of "Quarterback Immortals" throughout the release. Given the popularity of the position with collectors, not to mention a pair of highly touted QB draft picks, the theme makes perfect sense. Early online sales of 2012 Topps Football show just how important the position is to the release. Through August 19, all of the top 20 2012 Topps Football eBay sales have featured quarterbacks.
Leading the way is a one-of-one Aaron Rodgers Field Generals Autograph. The card, which also features a military-style medal sold for $1,250. Two other cards from the set also saw high prices. Cam Newton went for $500, while Matthew Stafford closed at $425.
Of the top 20 eBay sales, the remaining 17 cards all feature Andrew Luck or Robert Griffin III. A Luck 1965 Tallboys Autograph was the only other card to reach four figures, reaching $1,000. A Griffin finished for just a dollar less.
From there, Andrew Luck takes over with several different cards, a testament to the variety 2012 Topps Football offers. Among the Luck cards closing high were his Rookie Premiere Patch Autographs 1/10 ($850), Rookie Premiere Autographs 02/90 ($800), a Rookie Premiere Red Ink Autograph 3/10 ($625), and Rookie Variation Autograph ($599). In total, Luck accounted for 13 of the top 20 eBay sales.
Although he's not as present as the first overall pick, RG3 is still selling very well. His Red Ink Rookie Premiere Autograph 03/10 changed hands at $550. A pair of his 1984 Topps Autographs approached the $500 mark, closing at $460.
A dual autograph with on-card signatures from both Luck and Griffin sold for $479.99. The card is numbered to 25.

Just opened a pack of regular topps 2012 and got a dez bryant #69 1/1 platinum and was wondering what the value was?

Ross » Best bet is to check completed eBay auctions for other Platinum cards from the set. Because it’s a 1/1, the prices can vary greatly from player to player.
