This article page highlights the 1986 Topps football card set that includes awesome rookie cards and hall of famers.  This is one of the classic 1980's football card years for Topps as 1986 Topps Football in near mint to mint condition commands strong market value.  There are many great rookie cards in this set that are still affordable, including Jerry Rice and Steve Young, and many of the hall of famers from the era headline this 396 card set. The fact that there are only 396 in this year's set makes unopened packs and boxes fun since you typically get more than one of many of the great cards in each box.

Some of the highlights of this football card set include the Jerry Rice rookie card, Steve Young's rookie card, a Reggie White rookie card, Andre Reed's rookie, Bruce Smith's rookie card, and hall of fame cards from the likes of Joe Montana, Dan Marino, John Elway, and many others.  Some other notable rookies include Boomer Esiasion and Bernie Kosar.   The complete set in near mint to mint condition will probably cost you about $50-70 on Ebay or close to it.  That would be a good deal to get one around that price as just the Jerrry Rice rookie card brings about $30 or so on Ebay in near mint to mint condition.

Here are some of the key cards and card numbers based on who my favorite players are in the set.  Walter Payton #11, Dan Marino #45, John Elway #112, Jerry Rice #161 rookie card, Bernie Kosar #187 rookie card, Boomer Esiason rookie card #255, #275 Reggie White rookie card, #350 Warren Moon second year, #374 Steve Young rookie card, #388 Andre Reed rookie card, and #389 Bruce Smith rookie card. The wide variety of superstars and rookies in this set make it a compelling value as you can see.

Though it is valuable, 1986 Topps football cards are not out of most collector's price range.  This is a great 1980's football card set for collectors to obtain a complete set of.

Though you will not find a factory set of these cards most likely (they can be found I believe, but at higher prices as they are rarer), a good near mint to mint condition set is often placed for sale.  Unopened wax boxes, cello boxes, and rack boxes are very fun of these cards too, though pricey.  I think a rack box would be a great Christmas present, with 396 cards in the set and about 1,152 cards in a rack box, that would make about 3 Jerry Rice rookies on average based on random odds (Wow!).
