The Rookie Cards of the 2009 Inductees to the Pro Football Hall of Fame

It seems strange to say, but the 2009 Class of the Pro Football Hall of Fame lacks star power. Without an entrant who played a skill position like quarterback or running back, this class may be looked at as kind of boring for any fans that don't root for a team that a Class member played for. With three defensive players and an offensive lineman, the rookie cards of all four could be had for less than $10. Here they are:
