If you're a collector and you don't know the name Oliver Luck, that's OK -- you didn't miss any past Topps football cards

Luck doesn't appear on any standard cards from the past -- not even with his son who you should know (he's been pretty good) -- but he was a quarterback for the Houston Oilers for parts of four seasons in the mid-1980s. His best year was his rookie campaign in 1983 when he started six games and threw for 1,375 yards and eight touchdowns (and 13 interceptions). It was all downhill after that for this second-round pick.

But a Rookie Card? That will come only if we get new XFL cards in 2020.

The card you see above doesn't exist ... but what if it did?

Buzz has been wondering for some time now what kind of demand there might be if one of the biggest names in the world could be found in new packs of football cards. Armed with Photoshop, Buzz chose 2018 Panini Contenders Draft Picks, a set that includes stars from the past as well as new pros, to present the question.

Everywhere you look, it seems that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is there -- Apple and Ford commercials, countless blockbuster movies, Ballers on the small screen, on Under Armour shoes and clothing, as People Magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive" ... we could go on and on here, but the point is that he's a global household name. For collectors, you'll find him on cardboard in a number of WWE sets, of course, and in a few non-sports releases, too, complete with some of his only certified autographed cards from when he was just getting his global-dominance career started.

But it all began long before that at the University of Miami -- and that's where his cardboard started, too.
