1998 SP Authentic #18 Randy Moss PSA 9 - Straight Cash, Rookie

The 1998 SP Authentic #18 Randy Moss comes from the season when one of football’s most electrifying receivers announced himself to the NFL almost immediately. Minnesota selected Moss 21st overall in the 1998 NFL Draft, and any doubts surrounding the Marshall superstar disappeared once the games began. With his combination of 6'4" size, extraordinary speed, leaping ability, and effortless deep-ball tracking, Moss changed what defenses had to account for from the moment he stepped onto an NFL field.

Graded PSA MINT 9, this example comes from Moss’s landmark rookie year and from a premium Upper Deck product that helped define the late-1990s football-card market. SP Authentic carried a more upscale identity than traditional flagship releases, making an early Moss from the product a natural fit for collectors of his rookie-year material. The PSA 9 grade gives this example an impressive level of preservation from the very beginning of a career that would reshape expectations for the wide receiver position.

Moss didn’t ease into professional football—he overwhelmed it. As a rookie, he caught 69 passes for 1,313 yards and an NFL-leading 17 touchdowns, earning Offensive Rookie of the Year honors and helping Minnesota finish 15-1. He eventually retired with 15,292 receiving yards and 156 receiving touchdowns, including a then-NFL-record 23 touchdown catches in 2007, and entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.
