Philip Rivers Football Card Checklist |
NOTE: This site does not sell nor trade any card issues or other merchandise. It is intended to assist fans in collecting as many of the player’s cards as possible.
ADDITIONS,
CORRECTIONS: If you know of any other cards or have corrections please contact
us at ornamentals@lycos.com
The CHECK column is
left blank so you can print this page to use a checklist for your own
collection.
The COUNT column is a
numerical count of 1 to X to establish the total number of different cards to
date. They are numbered in the order we heard of them and not necessarily the
official release dates. They are roughly in chrono order as things get sold on
eBay or in shops ahead of official release dates anyhow.
The APP. VALUE column
is the approximate value of the card in US dollars. These values will vary
widely and may be given as a range. They are based on a combination of store,
guide, and auction prices tempered by what we think is common sense. Values in
parentheses reflect mint or near mint cards if they are generally available.
Retail card shop or flea market prices may be higher in areas like San Diego,
Raleigh, and parts of Alabama where PR cards are in highest demand.

This is believed to be his very first
production card. Some PGI 10 graded cards have been offered on eBay. Cards
are from the magazine insert so have messy perforated margins. |

Limited: 99. A rarer version of his first 2003
card. Has a gold border on front and entire back is gold. I’ve seen pictures
of another “gold” one with just a gold foil emblem in one corner. We’ll try
to sort this out. |

AUTOGRAPHED |
Not an insert. Any card signed at or after the
Senior Bowl in person. Unsigned cards limited to 2000. This could prove to be
very scarce. Philip’s event people are charging $25 flat for any signed card
but we doubt many of the fans have the card to begin with. |

HOLOGRAM |
This 2002 holo card was first offered (we think)
at an NC State basketball game against Mount St. Marys on 11/22/02. The same
card was also given to anyone who plunked down $103 for a piece of a goalpost
from the victory against Florida State around 11/23/02. Technically, this may
be his first college card with sanction of Wolfpack Sports Marketing (which
licenses all uses of NCSU jersey or logo photos) |
