Breaking News : Why Patrick Mahomes Rookie Card Sells For Almost $200K
The 2017 Panini National Treasure card of Patrick Mahomes garnered $173k in sales.
In 2021, a comparable card with a number of 1 instead of 10 sold for $4.3 million.
After taking over as the main quarterback, Mahomes has enjoyed a great career that has included three Super Bowl victories and several other honors. The Chiefs have also regularly advanced to the AFC Championship.
Patrick Mahomes, the quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, just brought $173k at auction for his rare rookie card.
The contested card is a Panini National Treasure card from 2017, numbered to 10, with a signed jersey patch. Beckett graded the autograph a ten, and the card a pristine nine.
Taking into account the purchase premium that Goldin’s, a self-described “global destination for high-end collectibles”, places on its cards, the ultimate price came to $173,240.
As stated by Goldin, this card is “quite simply the most iconic NFL rookie card ever produced by Panini.” Even though this card cost little more over $173,000, it’s not the most expensive Mahomes card anybody has ever bought.
The Chiefs DE addressed his offseason rehab after suffering an ACL tear in the AFC Championship against the Baltimore Ravens.
Other Mahomes Card Sales and the Chiefs in 2024
Going back to 2021, a 2017 Panini Treasure Mahomes card was acquired for $4.3 million by LJ’s
Card Shop, a New Albany, Ohio-based business. It’s practically the exact same card as the one that
brought $173k, but because it was ranked No. 1 instead of No. 10, its value skyrocketed.
Mahomes is continuing to establish an unprecedented resume as these high card sales occur. In the
NFL Draft of 2017, he was selected with the tenth overall choice. Since then, he has been invited to
six Pro Bowls, earned three Super Bowl MVP awards, two league MVP awards, one NFL Offensive
Player of the Year Award, two First-Team All-Pro picks, one Second-Team All-Pro nod, and one NFL
Offensive MVP Award.
The Chiefs have won the Super Bowl not just in the previous season but in 2019 and 2022 as well.
They are now aiming for a three-peat after winning consecutive games. They are the first team since
the New England Patriots in 2003 and 2004 to win two straight.
Six years into his starting quarterback career, he has already won half of the Super Bowls and stands
a good chance of matching or maybe exceeding the record set by former Patriots and Tampa Bay
Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady with seven victories.
