Explore in-depth stats, PSA populations, and a unique rating for this classic Pro Set rookie of Barry Sanders.
The 1989 Pro Set Barry Sanders rookie card is a staple of late-80s football collecting. Pro Set entered the market in 1989 with a massive checklist, bright photography, and a focus on including every player, coach, and even referees. The set was widely available and helped fuel the football card boom, but its large print run means the card is not rare—though it remains a favorite for collectors who grew up in that era.
Before his NFL career, Barry Sanders was a sensation at Oklahoma State, winning the 1988 Heisman Trophy after rushing for an incredible 2,628 yards and 37 touchdowns in a single season—both NCAA records at the time. His college exploits made him one of the most anticipated rookies in NFL history, and his Pro Set card captures the excitement of his arrival in the league. The card is a reminder of both Sanders’s legendary college run and the explosion of football cards at the end of the 1980s.
