As covered in my post about my Jordan Love Contenders Rookie Ticket, rookie autos from Contenders are up there with the most iconic rookie cards you can have for a player in the modern and ultra-modern era (along with NT RPAs and Prizm or Topps Chrome silvers/refractors). For a long time, well known social media influencer / cancer on society Gary Vee was trying to corner the market on 2005 Rodgers Contenders autos for some reason, but like many of his card pursuits he seems to have given up. This caused prices to drop (prior to Rodgers himself also causing prices to drop by his off-field behavior), and I was able to swoop in right before a company holiday party in Dallas in December 2024. I negotiated a price on this card and was very happy to add it to my high end Rodgers collection.
