Depending on who you ask, Peyton Manning is in the discussion for the top two – maybe the top three quarterbacks – of all time. Manning is simply incredible when it comes to football IQ, the elevation of the players around him, and pure arm talent. He’s the only quarterback or player in league history to win five MVP awards and is one of only two starting quarterbacks to win a championship with two teams. Of course, the other man is Tom Brady.

It’s nearly incomprehensible how Manning and Brady played in the same era and against each other so many times – frankly, it’s almost taken for granted. Never has such phenomenal quarterback play been executed week in and week out, and we should be thankful that Topps Football was there to capture Manning’s unforgettable and iconic play under center.

In addition to some of his best vintage cards, the newly-released Topps Motif Football and Topps Composite Football have captured Manning in an entirely new light, and we’ve got some of the best cards you need to collect below.
