Below are our top four Randy Moss cards that collectors should look to get. We have also included some memorabilia items.
Any list of the best wide receivers in NFL history would have to include Randy Moss. He dominated the league over a 14-year career with several different teams.
Best known for his exploits with the Minnesota Vikings and New England Patriots. Moss amassed 15,292 receiving yards, 4th most in NFL history, and 156 receiving touchdowns, 2nd most in NFL history.
He was a 4-time First-Team All-Pro selection, a 6-time Pro Bowl selection, and currently holds the record for most receiving touchdowns in a single season with 23.
Football cards of all kinds featuring Moss are a popular target for collectors. Due to his high status among NFL greats.
4. 1998 SkyBox Premium Autographics Rookie Card, No Number
Estimated PSA 10 Price – $1,850
Estimated PSA 9 Price – $700
The 1998 SkyBox Premium Autographics series was a very successful autograph card set featuring several different top professional athletes from different sports leagues.
One of the draws of the Randy Moss rookie card in this series is that it displays a picture of him catching a pass in his Marshall collegiate uniform. Reminding the card owner of Moss’s humble beginnings.
The rest of the card’s picture contains a faded-out background. Meant to highlight Moss’s catch, with the word SkyBox listed diagonally across the center of the card from left to right. And his signature near the card’s bottom.
The rear of the card lists Moss’s collegiate stats and a blown-up version of the same photo from the front. Highlighting the catch from Moss’s midsection on up.
3. 1998 Upper Deck SP Authentic Player’s Ink Rookie Card #RM
Estimated PSA 10 Price – $2,000
Estimated PSA 9 Price – $650
Probably the most attractive aspect of the Upper Deck SP Authentic Player’s Ink rookie card featuring Randy Moss is its unique design.
The front of the card is presented in a horizontal layout amid a green background. With a picture of Moss in practice gear covering most, but not all of the left side of the card.
Below Moss’s picture on the left side are his name, team, a football logo, and the phrase “1998 NFL.”
The right side of the front displays Moss’s signature, his team and position, the SP Authentic logo in the top right corner, and the phrase “Player’s Ink” listed at the bottom.
The rear simply congratulates the card owner on receiving an authentic autograph card from Upper Deck.
2. 1998 Topps Randy Moss Chrome Refractor Rookie Card #35
Estimated PSA 10 Price – $3,500
Estimated PSA 9 Price – $900
The #35 1998 Topps Chrome refractor rookie card showcases a simple overall card design. With a mustard yellow border and a picture of Moss jogging in his Vikings uniform – probably near the end of a play.
A 2nd, red border is contained on the right side of the card inside of the yellow border, with the words “Draft Picks” listed on it.
The bottom left of the card’s front contains a picture of the Vikings logo. The top right contains the Topps Chrome logo. While the right side of the card along the yellow border lists Moss’s name. It also incorporates a shiny, rainbow-color hue on the front, the hallmark of all refractor cards.

1. 1998 Upper Deck Randy Moss SP Authentic Rookie Card #18
Estimated PSA 10 Price – $4,000
Estimated PSA 9 Price – $750
Limited to only 2,000 copies, a very small number for a 1990s sports card. The #18 Upper Deck SP Authentic rookie card of Randy Moss is one of the best non-specialty 90s football cards that a collector can get their hands on.
The card implements a horizontal layout on its front. With a picture of Moss carrying a football in practice gear covering the left two-thirds of the card. And another very faded-out picture of Moss running with a football covering the right one-third of the card.
The SP Authentic logo is listed on the top left of the card, with Moss’s name, team, and position located at the bottom. Along with the phrase “Future Watch” listed at the border between the two photos of Moss.
All words/phrases are listed in golden font, giving the card a nice, high-quality feel.
The rear of the card lists a brief player summary, noting how Moss is joining a talented Vikings receiving corps.

When I was just starting out with my card collection, I had lots of questions about authenticity, trading, and card conditions. But with not that much information available online, I felt quite alone in my queries. Some questions still haven’t been answered to this day.
This site aims to rectify this, and now, I am passing on my knowledge!
