Explore in-depth stats, PSA populations, and a unique rating for this iconic Randy Moss rookie card from the 1998 Upper Deck Black Diamond football set.
This card received a 75 overall hobby score.
The 1998 Upper Deck Black Diamond Randy Moss Rookie Card stood out for its layered foil finish and premium feel. Black Diamond was positioned as a mid-tier set with a modern, textured design and short print runs for some rookie tiers. Though not as heavily chased as Chrome or Bowman, its high-quality presentation made it a fan favorite in the late '90s and early 2000s.
One of the most telling stories of Randy Moss’s talent came before he ever played an NFL snap. During a joint Vikings-Chiefs practice in his rookie year, Moss burned veteran cornerbacks repeatedly. Chiefs Hall of Fame CB Dale Carter reportedly walked off the field frustrated, saying, “That boy different.” Moss went on to post 163 yards and 2 touchdowns in his second career NFL game — on just 3 catches. That kind of jaw-dropping efficiency captured what collectors saw in his early cards: raw, undeniable greatness. The Black Diamond card earns a 75 score as a unique, stylish alternative to more mainstream Moss rookies.
