BACKUpdated 2010 Playoff Contenders Golden Ticket Tracker: The Gold Rush Continues
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 three weeks 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 and Aaron Rodgers sold for more than $2,200, 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 John Elway Golden Tickets last weekend. Today we add a few more precious-metal monuments to the list, including Reggie Wayne and Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookies Gerald McCoy and Mike Williams.
