Micheal Sam's first card

LodiBrewFan

Who will be the first company to dip it's toes into this water?

Will this future card have any or retain in value in the future?

1) speaking as a "Michael" you spelled his name wrong in the thread title...AEL not EAL

2) I think he will be in the first available set from whatever card company comes out with a new draft pick set first. Too much fresh collector interest to ignore.

3) And his long term card values will be impacted by his play on the field and nothing more IMHO.

Haven't checked release dates, but he signed auto deals with 5 companies a few months back: Link

I'm sure they'll sell well initially, though if he's not a starter (or has a clear path to becoming one) they won't for long, much like any other draftee.

I agree

Sam's first card will be his last card.
I've seen him play. Not going to make it, but I wish him all the best.

Agreed...just not that good and Fischer has a real contending team this year...love the Rams chances this year
