AFC East

Buffalo Bills

The Bills have been a force in the AFC throughout Josh Allen’s career. In constant contention, the team has yet to break through, but as long as they have Allen, they have a chance.

The gunslinger and 2024 NFL MVP is one of the biggest names in The Hobby, and a past highlighted by four straight AFC titles gives Bills collectors a ton to choose from.

Jim Kelly

Beloved franchise icon who led the team to four straight AFC championship titles. Part of the historic 1983 NFL Draft, Kelly is a Hall of Famer and five-time Pro Bowl selection.

Bruce Smith

The dominant defensive end struck fear in the hearts of quarterbacks for almost two decades. A two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year, Smith remains the NFL all-time sacks leader with 200. His 1986 Topps Football card is a fantastic centerpiece for a Bills collection.

Thurman Thomas

One of the best running backs in a golden age for the position, Thomas won NFL MVP in 1991 and finished his career with over 12,000 rushing yards. He led the AFC in rushing three times in a dominant four-year span.

Doug Flutie

Flutie’s career in Buffalo wasn’t a long one, but he became an all-time fan favorite in his brief stay. A Heisman winner best-known for his iconic Hail Mary with Boston College, Flutie had his best run in the NFL with the Bills. His USFL rookie card is a fun nod to the entertaining journeyman’s fascinating career.

Josh Allen

Allen is positioned to go down as the best player in franchise history. The 2024 MVP will have incredible chase cards in the new release of 2025 Topps Chrome Football, including the rare Gold Shield relic auto cards celebrating the MVP season.

Miami Dolphins

The Dolphins’ rich history includes the record-setting Dan Marino and an undefeated season yet to be matched. Today, Tyreek Hill remains one of the most entertaining athletes in the league, and the addition of the wildly talented Malik Willis has re-energized a franchise that’s long entertained its loyal fanbase.

Dan Marino

The gold standard for Miami, Marino rewrote the record books with a lightning-quick release and unmatched pocket presence. The 1984 NFL MVP threw for over 5,000 yards and 48 touchdowns — both records that would stand for years. Marino’s rookie cards remain grails in the Dolphins Hobby.

Larry Csonka

A bruising, old-school fullback who defined toughness for the Miami Dolphins, Csonka powered the team’s perfect 1972 season. His vintage cards are staples for collectors who want to commemorate a team that remains the standard-bearer of perfection.

Bob Griese

The steady hand under center during the Miami Dolphins dynasty years, Griese led the team to back-to-back Super Bowl titles and the league’s only perfect season. A two-time first-team All-Pro, Griese threw for more than 25,000 passing yards.

Jason Taylor

One of the most dynamic defensive players of his generation, Taylor brought speed and personality to the edge for the Miami Dolphins. The 2006 NFL Defensive Player of the Year racked up 139.5 sacks in his career. Taylor’s Chrome RC can be found in the 1998 release.

Tyreek Hill

Capable of scoring from anywhere on the field, Hill has been one of the most electrifying players in the league over the last decade. One of the fastest players in league history, he can be chased in 2025 Topps Chrome Football.

New England Patriots

Led by Hobby superstar Tom Brady, the Patriots helped define the NFL for two decades, during which the GOAT built two dynasties. One of the most visible and important American sports franchises in modern history, with a global fanbase, and yet another trip to the Super Bowl last season, New England is a constantly compelling choice for a collector.

Drake Maye looks to be heir apparent to Brady, and he’s a fantastic option for collectors looking forward to another era of excellence in New England.

Tom Brady

The GOAT on the field and in the Football Hobby, Tom Brady is one of the most sought-after athletes in the trading card world. From a sixth-round draft pick to a seven-time Champion, Brady built not one, but two of the league’s greatest dynasties. His career and cards have set the bar.

Rob Gronkowski

The gregarious Gronkowski backed up his charm with elite play. At his peak, he looked like an evolutionary leap at the tight end position. Gronk was essential to the continued success of Brady and the Patriots, and he’s a four-time Super Bowl Champion, as well as an absolute fan favorite in New England. Find his RC in 2010 Topps Chrome Football.

Randy Moss

Moss is perhaps the most talented wide receiver in league history. At times simply impossible to cover, he holds the single-season receiving touchdown record, with 23 scores in an undefeated regular season to remember in New England. His 2008 Topps Chrome card is an excellent addition to a Pats collection.

John Hannah

One of the greatest offensive linemen of all-time, Hannah is a must-have in any vintage Patriots collection. A seven-time First-Team All-Pro, Hannah was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1991. Vintage options include his 1974 Topps Football card.

Drake Maye

Today, the Pats are back on top of the AFC, thanks largely to the emergence of franchise quarterback Drake Maye. The 23-year-old was runner-up in 2025 NFL MVP voting in only his second season and led the Pats to the Super Bowl. The future is bright, and Maye’s cards are essential to capturing this new era of Patriots football.

New York Jets

The Jets have plenty of players to chase throughout their history, led by Broadway Joe, a beloved running back, a shutdown corner, a brilliant defensive end, and a talented wide receiver helping to lead a new era of Jets football.

Joe Namath

Broadway Joe is a legendary figure for the league and the Jets. Most famous for guaranteeing victory over the favored Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl III, Namath followed through with a Super Bowl MVP-winning performance. His 1965 Topps Football rookie card is a grail for Jets collectors, selling for as much as $264,000 in 2018.

Curtis Martin

The reliable running back is the Jets’ all-time leader with over 10,000 rushing yards. Martin won NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year with the rival Patriots in 1995, going on to an illustrious career with the Jets that included three All-Pro selections.

Darrelle Revis

Revis Island was a lonely place for wide receivers throughout the shutdown cornerback’s Hall of Fame career. A four-time All-Pro, Revis is considered one of the best defensive players in NFL history. His 2007 Topps Chrome RC X-Fractor is a brilliant card that helps make any Jets’ collection pop.

Joe Klecko

Leader of the New York Sack Exchange, Klecko is a key piece of a vintage Jets’ collection. The 1981 NFL Defensive Player of the Year and a four-time Pro Bowler, Klecko had his #73 jersey retired by the Jets in 2004. Intriguing Klecko cards include his 1978 Topps Football RC.

Garrett Wilson

A wildly talented wide receiver, the 25-year old won NFL OROTY in 2022. Limited to only seven games last year, Wilson had one of the best three-year stretches at the position in Jets’ history, going over 1,000 yards in his first three seasons in the league. As the Jets enter a new era, Wilson is an essential piece to the future being built in New York.

AFC North

Baltimore Ravens

Consistent contenders, the two-time Super Bowl Champion Ravens continue to soar behind Hobby superstar Lamar Jackson. A two-time MVP and one of the league’s most unique talents, Jackson carries a legacy of success headlined by Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, and one of the most dominant defenses in NFL history.

Ray Lewis

Ed Reed

Ed Reed may just be the best safety in NFL history. An eight-time All-Pro, Reed defined an entire era of Ravens football along with Ray Lewis. The 2004 Defensive Player of the Year was a leader on one of the best defenses the sport has ever seen. His 2002 Topps Finest RC is perhaps his most coveted trading card.

Jonathan Ogden

With 11 straight Pro Bowls, and nine All-Pro selections, Ogden was a dominant offensive lineman, anchoring the Ravens for over a decade. A Pro and College Football Hall of Famer, Ogden’s most valuable Topps card is his 1996 Topps Chrome Football RC.

Derrick Henry

Derrick Henry may only be heading into his third season with the Ravens, but the bruising running back has had an extended prime in Baltimore, including a 1,921-yard season in 2024. As he and the Ravens gear up to get back into contention this season, Henry’s Ravens cards can be found in the upcoming release of 2025 Topps Chrome Football.

Cincinnati Bengals

If it’s offensive fireworks you’re after, the Bengals might be the way to go. With an incredible passing attack featuring perhaps the league’s best quarterback-wideout duo, Cincinnati is loaded with Hobby appeal. Joe Burrow stands as one of the premier quarterbacks to collect in today’s game. Ja’Marr Chase’s exploits seem to bring him more attention every week.

Boomer Esiason

The 1988 NFL MVP, Boomer led the Bengals to Super Bowl XXIII. His 1986 Topps RC is a classic for Bengals collectors. A four-time Pro Bowler, Esiason remains a prominent figure in the sports world today, appearing on The NFL Today for years and hosting his own sports talk show.

Anthony Muñoz

Muñoz received 11 All-Pro sections (including nine first-team nods) in only 13 seasons played. He was such a dominant force on the offensive line, that he even received a vote for Offensive Player of the Year in 1981, the year his quarterback Ken Anderson took home the honor. His 1982 Topps RC already honors him as an All-Pro — a fitting first card for a player who would stay on top for a over a decade.

Ken Anderson

With Muñoz protecting his blindside, Anderson won the MVP Award in 1981 — the same year he took home NFL Comeback Player honors. A two-time passing yards leader, Anderson was named to four Pro Bowls and took the Bengals to Super Bowl XVI. His 1973 Topps card is a great vintage option for collectors.

Joe Burrow

The top overall pick of the NFL Draft, Burrow re-energized the franchise and leads one of the sport’s most prolific offenses. A two-time Comeback Player of the Year, he’s already led the Bengals to a Super Bowl. He’s a major chase for Bengals collectors in 2025 Topps Chrome Football.

Cleveland Browns

The Browns feature the sport’s best defensive player in his absolute prime, and they bring weight to The Hobby with the likes of Otto Graham and grail legend Jim Brown. The early history of the Browns, which saw the team make 11 championship games in a 20-year span starting in 1950, gives vintage collectors some great avenues.

Jim Brown

One of the true legends of American sport, Jim Brown’s dominance is unparalleled on the gridiron. Brown won three MVPs, including one as a rookie and one in his final season. He captured eight rushing titles in his nine seasons. His 1958 Topps RC is one of the grails of the football Hobby.

Terry Bradshaw

While Greene led the defense, it was Bradshaw’s play at quarterback that put the points on the board during the Steelers’ dynasty. A four-time champion as well, Bradshaw took home two Super Bowl MVPs. He remains one of the most recognizable figures in the entire sport.

Lynn Swann

One of the most graceful athletes ever seen on the gridiron, Swann’s smooth play at wideout felt like a huge leap at the time. With a penchant for impossible catches, Swann was a human highlight reel. His 1975 Topps RC is one of the most important vintage Steelers cards.

Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jaguars are on the rise with a talented young core and a cannon-armed franchise quarterback at the helm.
