Patrick Mahomes

PSA 10 2017 PANINI PRIZM #269 CAMO ROOKIE RC 25/25 CHIEFS

PSA 10

$39,999.99

Shop This Card on eBay →

💬 A PSA‑10 2017 Panini Prizm #269 Camo rookie (25/25) hitting $39,999.99 is the priciest perfect Mahomes we’ve ever seen, showing how the market’s now rewarding ultra‑scarce rookie parallels like a holy grail. It’s steep, but at that price you’re basically buying the card’s “king’s ransom” status – a signal that top‑tier, low‑print Mahomes cards are locked in a $40K+ tier for serious collectors.

📡 Market Pulse

603 Total Sales	$608.50 Avg Price
$39,999.99 🚀 Highest Sale	$2.37 🔻 Lowest Sale

💬 Overall the market feels balanced but jittery—high‑roller splurges hitting $40K while the average hovers around $600, so the vibe’s cautiously optimistic with plenty of low‑end hunting happening.

🎯 Today's Plays

🟢 BUY

Patrick Mahomes – grab a PSA‑10 2020 Panini One of One or a 2021 Prizm rookie; the $3.6K average shows the market’s still hot and his MVP buzz isn’t fading.

🟡 HOLD

Lamar Jackson – keep that 2022 Panini Select autographed rookie in a PSA‑9; the $509 average is solid and his dual‑threat hype keeps the price steady.

👀 WATCH

Caleb Williams – watch the 2023 Topps Chrome rookie low‑numbered parallel, the $557 average is low‑ball right now but his college hype could push it through the roof.
