Q&A – When Were The First Relic Cards Issued?

Collectors were introduced to the relic card between 1996 and 1997. Believe it or not but at one point in time pulling a one-color, non-serial numbered relic card was a huge deal. A card which fits that description today gets tossed aside like yesterday’s trash. In this hobby when something starts off as rare and becomes popular with collectors manufacturers will eventually overdue it to the point where it looses it’s appeal.

Card companies such as Upper Deck, Press Pass, Pinnacle, and Collector’s Edge all issued relic cards beginning in 1996.

Pictured below are some of the hobby’s first relic cards.

Sterling Marlin 1996 Press Pass Burning Rubber

Terry Labonte 1996 Press Pass Burning Rubber Die Cast

Dale Earnhardt 1996 Press Pass VIP GOLD Firesuit

Allen Iverson 1996 Press Pass Game-Used Jersey

Mario Lemieux 1996-97 Upper Deck Game Jersey

Steve Young 1996 Upper Deck Game Jersey

Ken Griffey Jr. 1997 Upper Deck Game Jersey (copyright date on card is 1996)

Bill Elliott 1996 Pinnacle Driver’s Suit

Kerry Collins 1996 Collector’s Edge Advantage Game Ball
