THE DAN FOUTS COLLECTION
Base, parallels, numbered, autos — every Dan Fouts card Dad’s willing to part with.


Look at this guy holding the ball like he's cradling a newborn baby instead of throwing it downfield! For someone who supposedly "revolutionized the passing game," he's standing there more static than a mannequin at JCPenney. And what's with that mustache? Even in the 70s that thing screamed "I sell used RVs on the weekends."
ABOUT DAN FOUTS
Dan Fouts was the San Diego Chargers quarterback who revolutionized the passing game in the late 70s and early 80s. This guy had an absolute cannon for an arm and became the first QB ever to throw for over 4,000 yards three straight years, starting in 1979 when he led the league with 4,082 yards. He put up 300-yard games like it was nothing, doing it 51 times in his career when that was still pretty rare. Since he doesn't have rookie cards, collectors focus on his early second-year issues and key cards from those record-breaking seasons. Look for high-grade examples from his prime years, especially any autographed versions since those command serious premiums.
