Investment Rating: 9.0
Overview
The success of Aaron Rodgers has been a lesson in patience. Not only for him but the Green Bay Packers organization and their fans, as well. Now regarded as one of the best quarterbacks in the game, Aaron Rodgers rookie cards took a similarly slow path to the top.
As a result of his Super Bowl XLV win, along with multiple MVPs and Pro Bowl nods, Aaron Rodgers rookie cards have enjoyed significant price jumps. It's astounding to think that Rogers has more than 40 rookie cards (43, to be exact). They come at varying prices to meet any budget. All of his rookie cards were issued in 2005 products and are organized on the next tab. Several of these cards contain any combination of serial numbering, swatches of jersey material and/or autographs.
Unfortunately for collectors, several of his Topps rookie cards include non-transparent stickers. Additional cards have the sticker affixed to the card vertically, creating cards with more limited aesthetic value. Upper Deck Aaron Rogers rookie cards, on the other hand, feature fluid designs that incorporate the autograph sticker very well.
