About Playoff

Founded in 1992, Playoff has established a well-deserved reputation in the realm of sports collectibles as the manufacturer of the finest, high-end trading cards available at any price. Absolute, Contenders, Prestige and Momentum brands have given collectors premium innovations and features such as extra-thick card stock, TekChrome printing technology and the industry's first leather cards with the debut of Pigskin Previews in 1995 Absolute Football. The association with quality continues with classic touches like super-premium hinged boxes that have become collectibles in themselves and endorsements from such NFL superstars as Dan Marino, Barry Sanders and Kurt Warner.

Playoff's brands have long topped many industry publications' hot lists, highlighted by the Peyton Manning and Randy Moss autographed rookie cards in 1998 Contenders Football, which was also the first set to feature an all-autograph rookie set. Stepping to the forefront of the hobby's memorabilia boom in recent years, the 2001 Quantum Leaf Football Gamers insert was the first to feature six swatches of game-used jersey, while 2001 Honors Football debuts with eight jersey swatches in Rookie Tandems/Quads Materials. Playoff continues to make history as the premiere manufacturer of high-end collectibles in the trading card marketplace and beyond.
