Cards Overview
An MLB legend, Buster Posey rookie cards remain popular in the hobby as his career winds down. He was drafted by the San Francisco Giants in 2008 and made his MLB debut the next season. The accolades piled up over the years, including NL Rookie of the Year (2010), NL MVP (2012) and seven All-Star appearances, to go with three World Series titles. Today, he's not only one of the most collectible catchers but Buster Posey cards and memorabilia are among the most popular in all of baseball.
The earliest Buster Posey cards fall into two categories, which can be confusing for collectors. Some of his most valuable cards aren't even true rookie cards by traditional definitions, but instead are his prospect cards from 2008 and 2009. His first official rookie cards are from the 2010 season. Because of the redundant nature of many prospects cards from 2008 and 2009, below you will find Posey's key 2008 prospect cards.
