Considered by many to be one of the best pound-for-pound boxers of all-time, Manny Pacquiao has amassed ten world championships in eight different weight classes during his storied career. Although he has lost some of his dominance as he has aged, Manny Pacquiao remains a force in the boxing world and with collectors. The following guide highlights the top Manny Pacquiao boxing cards of all-time.
Despite winning his first world title in 1998, collectors did not have many official card options for Manny Pacquiao until over a decade later. Fortunately for collectors, Pacquiao was featured in several 2011 Topps Baseball products and these remain some of his most desirable card options.
Although hobby interest for the Filipino boxer has normally been strong, things have picked up even more since his long-rumored fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. was finally made a reality. If Pacquiao prevails in the epic bout, his card values will surge.
The list below includes ten of the best Manny Pacquiao cards currently available to collectors. View a detailed collecting profile for Manny Pacquiao here.
