Rob Gronkowski Talks Trading Card Hobby, eBay Series, and Market Super Peak – News and Statistics – IndexBox

Jul 27, 2026
Rob Gronkowski, the former New England Patriots tight end, has returned to a childhood pastime as the trading card market experiences a resurgence. According to FOX Business, the 37-year-old has been involved in collecting since he was young and is now re-engaging with the hobby.
Gronkowski noted that collecting trading cards was once at its peak, then declined, and has now reached what he described as a super peak. He mentioned that baseball and NHL cards were his two favorite hobbies during his youth.
Before appearing at The National Sports Collectors Convention on Aug. 1, Gronkowski is collaborating with eBay Live on a new series called Gronk Geeks Out. The program will follow him as he explores the collecting world and learns its intricacies.
Gronkowski shared that a friend of his spent a decade buying cards of the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end on eBay. The friend accumulated about a hundred of Gronkowski’s playing cards and told him they are now worth even more.
When asked about which player’s card he would most like to pull, Gronkowski indicated there is one specific card he desires above all others.
