At the beginning of the lockout, there was a lot of speculation as to how the league would recover from a lack of an off season. Most of the analysts agreed that the teams with established QBs and head coaches would come out ahead, and that the Packers were in a perfect position to repeat as Super Bowl Champions. So far, that is exactly what we have seen, especially with Aaron Rodgers. He has quickly become one of the best players in the NFL, and the value of his signature has spiked to reflect how dominant he has been lately.

Here are some examples:

Aaron Rodgers Signed Heavyweight Championship Belt – This could easily be the coolest signed piece of Packers memorabilia I have ever seen.

Aaron Rodgers Contenders Rookie Ticket Auto

One of the differences between someone like Rodgers and a similarly talented QB is that Rodgers autograph has been included in products at a drastically reduced rate. Because the Packers are undoubtedly one of the most popular teams in the league, and Rodgers is the best player, he is in high demand. When there are very little amounts of cards to go around, you can see how it would be an issue.

The Pack is rolling, knocking off Atlanta on Sunday night to go 5-0, and there is no sign of stopping quite yet. Oddly enough, they are not the only undefeated team in the NFC north, but they are definitely the best. Rodgers is making it look easy, to say the least, and it is spurring a bigger bump in a lot of stuff that was once a lot cheaper. His rookie cards have jumped almost 50% since the start of the season, some of which were already sky high thanks to the Super Bowl win.

If the Packers and Rodgers roll to another Super Bowl this year, we could be entering Tom Brady during the undefeated season territory. Football card collectors have always valued Super Bowl wins over everything including recent success and stats, something of which Rodgers has both. He is already the most valuable current player you can pull out of packs, and that doesnt look like it is going to change any time soon. I dont usually say this when values are this high, but there may even be some room for more bumps in value.
