Unless you live under a rock, I’m sure you know that Brett Favre announced his retirement this past Tuesday. I know this is sad and shocking news for most football fans, unless of course you love the Vikings. After seventeen season’s, not seeing him on the field is going to take some getting used to, but don’t despair. We can still celebrate Favre’s amazing career, even if he is no longer playing the game by collecting his sports card memorabilia.
I’m sure when you think of sports cards, baseball is the first thing that comes to mind, but sports fans don’t only value baseball cards, there is a huge demand for football cards as well. When a legendary player retires, both football and baseball cards worth can go through the roof. Some fans out there have already started collections of Brett Favre memorabilia, like iTaggit users IndieRichard and Sportsmem.
Show the world you still love Brett, by getting a few items for yourself. If you already have an awesome item tell me about it and check out this tribute to Brett Favre.

I had the experience for 13 years of being the team chiropractor and trainer for the Hancock North Central Hawks football team that Brett Favre and his brothers palyed for while in highschool and their Dad Irv coached. When Brett went to college there was a poster made when he was being considered for Hiesman Trophy award. When Brett was visiting his highschool during a footbal game I had him sign the poster. As well I have a jersey signed by Brett and several really cool photos of him during my tenure with the highschool team.
