The pink border on the left, the squared-off font, the image, and the overall design — they all scream 90s. You could safely say that the design of this card is slightly dated, despite the fact that it only comes from a couple of decades ago. However, therein lies the beauty of this card. The Score Brett Favre rookie card is, admittedly, not much better in terms of looks as compared to the Pacific card. It still has many features that gives away the fact that it comes from the s.
The action image of Favre in his 4 jersey is surrounded by a white-purple border, and there are some graphical elements on the bottom of the card that display the key information about the player.
Most card prices for this one fluctuate well below that mark, even for the highest grades. So those are the main options when it comes to Brett Favre rookie cards, but there are still some other decent options that are not as well known.
Perhaps a bit of color on the card would make it a bit more interesting, especially considering that it has the gray graphics on the bottom of the card. However, the image on the card is not the biggest crowd pleaser in the world.
And the overall design is very 90s, but not many collectors pay particular attention to this card. There are a lot of cheap and easily available Brett Favre rookie cards.

Sometimes that aggressiveness would result in interceptions or other turnovers but more often than not, it worked out well for the legendary quarterback. He goes down as one of the greatest NFL players of all time and is nothing short of a legend to Green Bay Packers fans.
