Investment Rating: 4.0
Overview
Reggie Bush cards were among the hottest in the hobby when he burst onto the NFL scene in 2006. Fans and collectors expected him to show the same dominance with the New Orleans Saints that he displayed winning a Heisman Trophy at USC. Even though his rookie stats were nothing special, his values skyrocketed when the Saints won the Super Bowl in 2010. Unfortunately for Bush and his collectors, he never lived up to the lofty expectations placed upon him. As a result, values have since dropped on Bush cards and memorabilia.
Although injuries and a lack of production have kept him from consistent on-field success, Bush continues to carry strong name recognition based on his off-field life. A high-profile relationship with Kim Kardashian and regular endorsement deals allowed him to stay culturally relevant despite his on-field struggles.
A fresh start with the Miami Dolphins gave Bush a little extra time to finally become the featured back many expected him to be. But it was his arrival in Detroit in March of 2013 that signaled a true new start. Playing for a team committed to the running game, Bush has shown flashes of the brilliance that fans and collectors had long hoped he would achieve.
Top 3 Reggie Bush Football Rookie Cards
2006 Exquisite Collection Reggie Bush RC #105 Autographed Jersey #/99
This card has it all: rookie from a high-end product, on-card autograph, generous patch and serial numbering to 99. All other Reggie Bush cards are fighting for second place.
2006 Playoff National Treasures Reggie Bush RC#143 Autographed Jersey #/99
It is not as well put together as the Exquisite card but Bush's National Treasures rookie is still a top card. It features two swatches and a boxed autograph. The autograph concept may have a more complete look than the straight sticker auto but it's still not as desirable as on-card. Plus, the box area is rarely large enough to display the entire autograph and it can ruin the card if part of the signature is obstructed.
2006 Upper Deck Rookie Debut Reggie Bush RC#251 Autograph #/25
Although it is a sticker autograph card, which keeps it from the top, the 2006 Upper Deck Rookie Debut Reggie Bush is limited to just 25 copies. This card has the lowest print run of all his rookies.
