Description

In this episode of The Football Card Podcast, Pack Nicholson and Brett dig into one of the hardest questions in the hobby.

Who is the GOAT when it comes to defensive players and their cards? They break down real sales data, look at names like Aaron Donald, Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Lawrence Taylor, and Reggie White, and explain why defensive players still lag behind quarterbacks in the market.


You also hear a deep conversation on spending time with your collection, why connecting cards matters, and how meaning forms when cards stop living in cases and start living together.

The guys react to recent sales including a 2012 Ray Lewis Gold Prizm, Ed Reed 2002 Finest X-Factor, Jordan Love Contenders Cracked Ice, and a shockingly cheap Philip Rivers Prizm Gold.


If you collect football cards with intention, this one hits home.
