There have been many football card sets that have been made since football cards have started being made. Many of these sets can vary in card amount and value. There are some sets though that are what in the card business called "condition sensitive". This means that these specific cards can damage easier than other cards. I have done my research and have questioned many experienced collectors and have been able to compile the following list of some of the most "condition sensitive" football card sets that have been made.
- Anything before 1972
- 1973 Topps
- 1985 Topps
- 1989 Score
- 1993 Upper Deck SP Foil
- 1994 Upper Deck SP Foil
- 1998 CE Odyssey Gold Holofoil
- Any Donruss/Playoff Hidden Gems Rookie Autographs
- Any of the Action Packed stuff
- Any of the intricately die-cut Pacific inserts
- Gridiron Gear Large Patches
- 2000 Donruss/Playoff Contenders
- 2002 Donruss/Playoff Contenders
- 2003 Donruss/Playoff Contenders
- 2004 Donruss/Playoff Rookie Autographed Prime Signatures
- 2004 Leaf Certified Materials Mirror Foil cards
