For memorabilia collectors, more specifically card collectors, finding the best value is a big win. The most popular cards right now involve reigning NFL's Most Valuable Player quarterback Aaron Rodgers. With the Green Bay Packers quarterback's future uncertain, card collectors are trying to get their hands on his rookie cards in case he decides to retire.
The most fascinating aspect of Rodgers' rookie cards from 2005 is the fact that he didn't start a single game that season. Finding the rookie cards with the most value is key to all collectors.

#6 - 2005 Upper Decks Foundations Signature
This card is one of the few that features Rodgers in a practice uniform. The card had two editions, one with a golden strip and one without. The former can cost up to $1,000 while the latter can be bought for as low as $400.
#7 - 2005 Finest Rookie Autograph
Only 299 copies of this card were created. What makes this card unique is the fact that it's a picture of Aaron Rodgers in a practice uniform and not game-ready, which is quite unusual. The autograph featured on the card is on a sticker which makes it less valuable. Cards that are in mint condition can fetch up to $500.
#8 - 2005 Upper Deck Rookie Premiere Platinum
This card doesn't have an autograph on it which drops its value a bit. Considering it's a premiere card, a copy in mint condition could be worth a few hundred dollars.
#9 - 2005 Bowman's Best Autograph
This card is a bit "cheesy" as it has bright colors and doesn't look as professional as some of the other top-rated cards. There were just 199 of these Aaron Rodgers' cards made and cards that are still in good condition can fetch up to $300.
#10 - 2005 Leaf Limited
These cards are autographed and the upside is that only 250 of these cards were produced. One of these cards in mint condition can be worth up to $500.
