I’ve curated a list of boxes and packs that contain Rookie cards that might be worth collecting, saving, and flipping.
Sports Card Rookie Boxes
2024 Panini Prizm WNBA Blasters (and probably other boxes)
This comes in two types. One that says Ice Prizm, which isn’t worth as much –
And one that says WNBA Logo Prizm, which was some kind of Dick’s Sporting Goods exclusive? This one is worth almost 2.5 times more compared to the Ice Prizm
Other boxes include –
- 2018 Bowman Baseball Mega Box (Shohei Ohtani 1st Card/RC)
- 2023/24 Topps Chrome UEFA Soccer Jumbo Box (Lamine Yamal Rookie Autos)
- 2023 Bowman Draft Baseball Jumbo Box (Paul Skenes 1st Bowman Autos and Tom Brady Autos)
- 2018 Bowman Chrome Baseball HTA Box (Shohei Ohtani Rookie Autos)
- 2017 Panini XR Football Hobby Box (Patrick Mahomes Rookie Autos)
- 2023-24 Panini Prizm Deca Basketball Hobby Box (Wembanyama and Thompson Twins Rookie Year)
- 2023 Panini Prizm Football Hobby Box (CJ Stroud Rookie Year)
- 2024 Panini Prizm Football Hobby Box (Jayden Daniels/Caleb Williams/Drake Maye/Bo Nix Rookie Years)
- 2018-19 Panini Absolute Basketball Hobby Box (Luka Doncic / Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Rookie Autos)
- 2015-16 O-Pee-Chee Platinum Hockey Hobby Box (Connor McDavid Rookie Auto)
Sports Card Rookie Packs
1989 Fleer Baseball – A system for finding the Billy Ripken “Fuck Face” card. Essentially, press hard against the back of the pack (at either the top or bottom) and look for: Chuck Crim, Bo Jackson, Bob McClure, Scott Bailes, Chris Sabo, Checklist, Charlie Hayes, Steve Curry, Shawon Dunston, Paul Molitor, or Tony Armas. Due to the way the packs were collated, if those appear when pressed, Ripken is in the pack.
