Hello! If you’re looking for a list of the best Cristiano Ronaldo soccer/fútbol cards, then you’ve come to the right place.
But what does “Best” really even mean? It’s just so subjective. If you read 10 of these blogs, you’ll probably end up with 10 different opinions.
At Sports Card Sharks, we tend to go against the grain. We typically aren’t buying what everyone else is buying when everyone else is buying it, so if you’re moving with the masses this may not be the right list for you. Adios!
And to be transparent, when it comes to cards, we’re ALL about the aesthetics. We buy and collect sports cards that we think look dope and will stand the test of time as younger collectors and investors enter the market.FAQs
The rookie cards we select for our lists are judged based on 3 criteria:
- Design / Aesthetics
- Price
- Rarity

Our Founder is an 80's baby that grew up in the 90's collecting sports cards during the junk wax era.
While card collecting when on hiatus for a couple of decades, that passion was re-sparked in 2020 and we haven't looked back since.
We spend countless hours researching each player and constructing these posts to help you save time and energy so that you can focus on the fun part which is collecting!
