How I Arrived at the Hobby Score

Emmitt Smith grew up in Pensacola, Florida, and made a name for himself at the University of Florida before being drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in 1990. Despite questions about his size and speed, Smith quickly established himself as a workhorse back and became the NFL’s all-time leading rusher, winning three Super Bowls and an MVP award along the way.

The 1990 Pro Set Emmitt Smith rookie card is one of several from his rookie year. Pro Set was known for its massive print runs and lower production quality compared to brands like Score and Topps. While the card is not as prestigious as those previosly mentioned, it remains a recognizable piece of the early ‘90s football card landscape and is often collected for its nostalgia and connection to Smith’s legendary career.
