Wild Card changed the trading card hobby forever in 1991 by introducing redemption stripes: 5-Stripe, 10-Stripe, 20-Stripe, 50-Stripe, 100-Stripe, and the mythical 1000-Stripe. Featuring collegiate draft stars in their NCAA uniforms, the set is anchored by Hall of Famer Brett Favre (#119 Southern Miss) and college phenom Raghib 'Rocket' Ismail.

Wild Card allowed collectors to mail in striped cards in exchange for the printed number of regular base cards (e.g. a 20-Stripe could be mailed in for 20 base cards). Unredeemed high-stripe cards, especially 100-Stripe and 1000-Stripe, are heavily sought after today.
The 1991 Wild Card 1000-Stripe Brett Favre is considered one of the holy grails of early 1990s football cards, with confirmed private sales reaching into four figures.
