Card collectors still targeting Patrick Mahomes as Chiefs build dynasty
Is it safe to use the “D” word—dynasty—with the Kansas City Chiefs?
We think so. Three championships over the past five seasons is testimony enough. With consistency at the coaching level and quarterback position, the Chiefs are a threat to add another.
The focal point of KC’s offense, of course, is Patrick Mahomes II, voted MVP in all three of his Super Bowl wins. In six full seasons, Mahomes has posted a sparkling 74-22 won/loss record, thrown for 219 touchdowns and piled up 28,424 passing yards. He also has run for 1,936 yards and added 12 rushing TDs. Hard to believe he’s still only 28 years old.
Mahomes shows up regularly on our top eBay sales charts. This time out, it’s no different. You’ll find two examples of Mahomes-related treasures on our monthly “On the Outside Looking In” list.
One is perhaps his most popular issue: a 2017 rookie Panini Contenders autographed Rookie Ticket card. Graded PSA 9, it brought $19,300. The other is a 2022 Mahomes Kaboom! card that fetched $15,400 on 78 bids.
Here’s a trio of other Mahomes cards that have recently stirred up big prices on eBay;
• 2017 Panini Contenders signed Optic Prizm Rookie Ticket. A PSA 10 example of this Rookie Ticket variation brought $15,277 on 42 bids.
• 2017 Panini Prizm signed Blue Wave. This one was printed in an edition of 149; one of them recently brought $15,000, buoyed by a PSA 10 grade.
• 2018 Panini Flawless autographed patch card. A PSA 8 example of this one—produced in a quantity of only 10—drew $10,100 on 40 bids. It contained a three-color Chiefs uniform patch.
