Patrick Mahomes Autographed Card Sells For Record $4.3M

Patrick Mahomes is the face of the NFL, well at least one of them, and it seems his future may just be the most lucrative. PWCC Marketplace announced that a Mahomes 2017 Panini National Treasures 1-of-1, NFL shield, autographed card has sold for $4.3 million, the most ever paid for a football card and the fourth-largest sum fetched by a sports card all time.

“People see Mahomes as the next Brady,” PWCC director of business development Jesse Craig said. “He’s 25, he already has a Super Bowl and an MVP award. So, the sky’s the limit for him … and his card values.”

 

The buyer betting on Mahomes is LJ’s Card Shop of New Albany, Ohio.

“It’s the perfect storm,” Craig added. “It’s a 1-of-1, the NFL shield an on-card auto, a rookie. You have someone betting on Mahomes’ career [and] this is as good as it gets.”

“Our goal at LJ’s has always been to build the best modern-day card collection,” a store spokesperson said. “We’re continually hunting for cards that add to our collection in a meaningful way [and] the Mahomes is truly a piece of art. We’re honored.”

The Mahomes card will be on display at the NSCC before returning to the PWCC Vault for safekeeping.

“I believe it’s going in their long-term portfolio,” Craig said. “[It] probably won’t see the light of day for quite some time.”

A pretty steep price to pay.
