Donruss RC of the Steelers' social media king. JuJu's TikTok dances on opponents' logos were polarizing but his football talent was real — 1,426 yards as a 21-year-old. His move to KC and Super Bowl LVII ring silenced the critics.
2017 Topps Chrome Yoan Moncada RC #155
Chrome RC. Once compared to Mike Trout as a prospect, Moncada is a cautionary tale about hype. He had one elite season (.315 BA in 2019) but injuries and inconsistency derailed the trajectory. A case study in prospect risk.

2017 Panini Select Aaron Jones #242 RC

2017 Panini Prizm Marcus Williams RC #282
Prizm RC of the safety forever linked to the Minneapolis Miracle. Williams whiffed on the tackle that let Stefon Diggs score the walk-off TD in the 2018 NFC Divisional Round — but he rebuilt his career into a top-5 free safety, eventually earning a massive Ravens contract.
2017 Topps Chrome Zach Eflin RC #72

Young Guns RC. DeSmith went undrafted out of the University of New Hampshire — a classic late-blooming goaltender who worked his way up through the ECHL and AHL.

As one of the first Korean-American players in NFL history, his cards carry cultural significance beyond football.
2017 Panini Prizm Taysom Hill RC #289
Prizm RC. Hill went undrafted from BYU but Sean Payton saw a unicorn — a 6-2, 221-pound athlete who could play QB, TE, RB, and special teams at an elite level.

2017 Topps Chrome Daniel Vogelbach RC #71

2017-18 Upper Deck Zach Aston-Reese YG #478
Young Guns RC. Aston-Reese is from Staten Island, New York — about as far from traditional hockey country as possible. He went undrafted out of Northeastern University and made the NHL through sheer determination and physical play. New York City producing NHL players is rare, making his path uniquely compelling.
2017 Topps Chrome Adam Frazier RC #115
Chrome RC. Frazier led the NL in hits in 2021 and was an All-Star before a trade deadline deal to San Diego. The New Athens, Illinois native and Mississippi State Bulldog showed that contact-first hitters still have immense value. His All-Star season cards spiked dramatically at the trade deadline.

Base RC of the Mississauga, Ontario native who was part of the Blues 2019 Stanley Cup championship team before being claimed by the Kraken. Dunn signed a 4-year, $29.4M extension with Seattle — the kind of commitment that signals franchise cornerstone status for a team still building its identity.
2017 Panini Donruss Marcus Williams RC #368
Donruss RC of the safety who overcame one of the worst moments in NFL playoff history. The Minneapolis Miracle miss could have destroyed Williams's career — instead, he became one of the NFL's best ball-hawking safeties and landed a $70M deal with the Ravens.
2017-18 Panini Prizm Luke Kennard RC #245
Prizm RC of the most accurate 3-point shooter in NBA history. Kennard holds the NBA career 3-point percentage record at .449 (min. 1,000 attempts), surpassing legends like Steve Kerr and Hubert Davis. The Duke product was the #12 pick in 2017 and has become the prototypical modern off-ball shooter. His record alone makes this card historically significant.
2017 Donruss Optic Tre'Davious White RC #185

2017-18 O-Pee-Chee Cal Petersen #510 RC

2017-18 O-Pee-Chee Luke Kunin #520 RC
OPC RC. Kunin captained Team USA at the World Juniors and brought that leadership to the NHL. Played for Minnesota, Nashville, and San Jose. A versatile forward who can play center or wing.
2017 Donruss Optic Dalvin Tomlinson RC #175
Optic RC. Alabama defensive linemen are reliable NFL starters, and Tomlinson is one of the steadiest. His two national championships give him elite pedigree for a player who operates quietly in the trenches.
2017 Topps Chrome Chad Green RC #155
Chrome RC. Green was one of the most dominant setup men in baseball from 2017-2022, regularly throwing in the upper-90s and striking out batters at an elite rate. The Greenville, South Carolina native and Louisville product was a key piece of multiple Yankees bullpen configurations. Reliever cards are undervalued relative to their impact.
2017 Donruss Optic Kendrick Bourne RC #198
Optic RC. Portland, Oregon is not known for producing NFL receivers, which makes Bourne path from Eastern Washington to the NFL all the more remarkable. He became a fan favorite in San Francisco for his energy and playmaking ability.
2017-18 Panini Prizm Thomas Bryant RC #262
Prizm RC. Bryant averaged 15+ points per game for the Wizards in 2020 and has been a solid rotation center across multiple teams.

2017 Topps Chrome Paul DeJong RC #64

2017-18 Upper Deck Evan Rodrigues #487

2017-18 Select Luke Kennard RC #172
Select RC of the Duke sharpshooter. From Franklinton, Ohio, Kennard was a high school legend who chose Duke and immediately became their best perimeter scorer. His NBA career has been shaped by trades (Pistons to Clippers to Grizzlies), but his shooting has been elite everywhere. The career 3PT% record is the kind of historical achievement that appreciates over decades.
2017 Topps Adam Frazier RC #297
Topps RC. Mississippi State produces gritty, fundamentally sound ballplayers and Frazier exemplifies that tradition. Leading the NL in hits was a remarkable feat for a small-town Illinois kid who was never considered a star prospect.
2017-18 Donruss Optic Thomas Bryant RC #190
Optic RC. Indiana basketball tradition runs deep, and Bryant carried that Hoosier toughness to the NBA. Rochester, New York is far from basketball hotbed status, making his path to the NBA all the more impressive. A stretch big who can score from multiple levels.
2017 Donruss Optic Dalvin Cook RC #181
Optic RC. Despite tearing his ACL in his rookie debut, Cook came back stronger. He rushed for over 1,100 yards in 4 consecutive seasons and became the face of a Vikings rushing attack that kept the team competitive throughout his tenure.

2017-18 Donruss Luke Kennard Rated Rookie #185
Rated Rookie of the all-time 3PT% leader. Kennard averaged 19.5 PPG at Duke as a sophomore, showcasing the shooting touch that would make him an NBA record holder. His cards are severely undervalued relative to his historical significance — he literally holds a major NBA all-time record but his cards trade for a fraction of lesser shooters.
2017 Topps Chad Green RC #542
Topps RC. Greenville, South Carolina produces athletes across sports, and Green carried that competitive fire to the Bronx. As a Yankee, his cards carry the premium that comes with pinstripes — even relievers get more collector attention in New York.
2017 Panini Prizm Chidobe Awuzie RC #262
