Manning's core rookie cards are the 1998 Bowman #1 and 1998 Topps Chrome #165 (plus the Chrome Refractor), with the 1998 Playoff Contenders Rookie Ticket auto (#87) as his blue-chip autograph. The market is strong at the top: a 1998 Metal Universe Gem Masters 1/1 sold for $414,800 at Heritage in August 2026, the highest Manning card price on record. Raw base rookies are modest, while PSA 10 copies of the Chrome and Bowman rookies trade in the high hundreds to low thousands.
