Coming out of college, Andrew Luck was one of the highest rated draft prospects of all time. Not only did he have the tools to be the top pick in the draft, but many people believed he had more of a trajectory towards a top QB in the NFL. Although the top QB title still belongs to league MVP Aaron Rodgers at the moment, Andrew Luck could be the hobby's brightest star.

Check out some of his biggest cards up for sale right now:

Right now, the Andrew Luck National Treasures Auto Patch /99 might be the most valuable rookie card since the turn of the century. Its a bit frustrating to me, only because I really hate the design due to the cramped player picture and the overwhelming misuse of white space on the front. That being said, the hobby does not agree with me, and the card is going nuts, even now during the offseason.

With the Colts likely to be big movers during the draft and offseason on both sides of the ball, Luck could even end up having a better chance of getting his first ring. Once that happens, look out. Indianapolis has also been linked as a possible landing spot for Adrian Peterson, and that might be one of the scariest combinations in football if it ends up being true.

Luck attained most of his value because of the hype surrounding his skills, and a combination of his ability to carry most of the Colts’ burden on his back with some gaudy passing numbers. If he actually gets some major weapons around him, things could get out of control in terms of his hobby value.

I would easily go as far as saying Luck is the most invested in player at the moment, as collectors seem to be lining up to buy into his cards, even though they remain some of the most expensive there are. Collectors seem to believe he is going to get better with age, and I am one to agree. The question is whether or not his value continues to have room between current prices and the eventual ceiling.

Also interesting is that his cards ARE expensive, but outside of National Treasures, Chrome and Contenders, they fall more in line with what one would expect from a QB rookie of his caliber. For whatever reason, Collectors are going gaga over those three sets, and the others are just staying at potential.

I understand the reasoning behind Chrome, as Luck's autographs were severely short printed and unavailable. Chrome is easily one of the most popular sets of the year, if not THE most popular, and to have demand without supply? Now it makes sense. As for Contenders, the design is reflective of 1998, which is one of the more iconic modern sets. Luck's card is awesome, and deserves the attention. As for Treasures? That one im clueless over, especially considering it looks the way it does.

Luck’s top card remains the 2012 Topps Chrome Superfractor which sold legitimately for 16k, outdoing cards from all other products. Yet, when it comes to the regular releases, Chrome falls in between Treasures and Contenders for the reasons mentioned above.

Im curious to see how things play out in Luck’s career over the next few years, and I am sure that I am one of thousands with eyes on how he ends up in the pantheon of football greats.
