BACKUpdated 2010 Playoff Contenders Golden Ticket Tracker: Four More Discovered
It’s no secret by now that the pioneering Golden Ticket redemption treasures buried randomly inside packs of 2010 Playoff Contenders Football have created a frenzied collecting buzz across America since they first hit the market more than a month ago.
Every card pulled is nothing short of an industry-wide event, complete with the staggering auction prices to prove it. The Golden Tickets for Dez Bryant, Aaron Rodgers and John Elway sold for more than $2,000, respectively, while cards of Peyton Manning, Roger Staubach and Emmitt Smith have each eclipsed the $1,500 barrier.
In an effort to keep everyone up to date on this exciting cross-country gold-dig, we’ve created the following list of all known Golden Tickets that have been pulled to date, including sales information when possible. We’ll update this list periodically as more Golden Tickets surface.
We profiled the two lucky collectors who pulled the Sam Bradford and Elway Golden Tickets two weeks ago. We also showed you the video of the collector who paid $1,550 for the Emmitt Smith Golden Ticket receiving his prize. Today we add four more precious-metal monuments to the list in the legendary Jerry Rice, Tony Romo, Rolando McClain and Ryan Mathews.
In a related note, it appears that the Rodgers Golden Ticket that originally sold for $2,277 has resold for a staggering $3,500.
