PSA 10

$39,999.99

Shop This Card on eBay →

💬 That 2017 Panini Prizm #269 Camo rookie, a PSA‑10 of a one‑of‑25, is the first perfect‑grade Mahomes to ever hit the market, so the $39,999 tag is the new baseline for “legend‑level” Chiefs cards. It tells the market y’all that the MVPA‑era rookies are finally cracking the $40K‑plus ceiling and that collectors are willing to pay top dollar for a flawless, ultra‑scarce parallel.

📡 Market Pulse

$39,999.99 🚀 Highest Sale	$0.99 🔻 Lowest Sale

💬 Looks like the market’s humming with a ton of low‑ball moves at under a buck, but that lone $39,999.99 flip kept the hype alive, y’all.

🎯 Today's Plays

🟢 BUY

Patrick Mahomes buy a 2020 Panini Prizm #258 PSA 9 because it’s still under $500 and demand keeps climbing

🟡 HOLD

Victor Wembanyama hold the 2023‑24 Panini Flawless Prizm rookie as its price has plateaued and will likely steady before a breakout

Range: $10.00 – $39999.99 (Wide range)

Shop on eBay →

💬 Mahomes’ 2017 Prizm RC PSA‑10 is blowing up right now because the 60‑sale pool shows a wild $10‑to‑$39,999 swing, but the average hovering near $3.5K signals buyers finally trusting a true mint rookie as the NFL’s marquee face keeps climbing.

Shop on eBay →

💬 The 2018 Topps Chrome RC PSA‑10 is spiking to the $1.6K mark as the Ohtani hype train rolls, but the $50‑plus dust‑off sales are pulling the average down and keeping the price swing crazy.

$1139.35 avg

Range: $0.99 – $11000.00 (Wide range)

Shop on eBay →

💬 Mahomes’ 2017 Prizm RC Raw is riding a crazy roller‑coaster— a few near‑mint pulls are pushing the $1.1K avg, but most of the action is still $1‑$5, so that $11K high is just a rogue grab, not a real trend.

🌍 Around the League

⚾ Shohei Ohtani

Ohtani ends early plate slump with 1st HR, RBIs Read →

💡 Ohtani finally crushing his first homer could push his 2023 Topps Chrome #210 PSA‑10 and the 2024 Bowman Chrome ‘Rookie Sensation’ autographed parallel up 15‑20% as collectors chase fresh hype before the postseason hits.

⚾ Shohei Ohtani

Alvarez a top-10 bat? Ohtani wins Cy Young? Perdomo for real? Don't be surprised Read →

💡 If Ohtani clinches the Cy‑Young, expect the PSA‑10 2023 Topps Triple Black #1 to rocket another 30‑40%, probably vaulting it past the $1.4 million range, y’all.

🏀 Cooper Flagg

Mavs' Flagg, 19, is youngest with 50-point game Read →

💡 If Flagg drops a 50‑point night, his 2024‑25 Panini Select #13 rookie and the PSA‑10 Red‑Foil parallel could shoot up 30‑40% overnight, sending the market into overdrive for any freshly‑opened packs.

🏀 Luka Doncic

Doncic set to miss at least rest of regular season Read →

💡 Since Luka’s out, the 2022‑23 Prizm Autograph (PSA‑10) and the fresh 2023‑24 Flawless Rookie Hook Logos are set to jump 15‑20% as y’all hunt the limited supply before the season wraps.

📦 New Drops & Releases

📦 What's Dropping

Panini’s 2024 Prizm X “Rookie Rush” drops July 12, and you’ll want Luis Arraez’s D2 and Spencer Torkelson’s Gold parallel on the radar. Topps’ 2024 Series 1 Baseball hits shelves July 24, with Blake Perkins #13 autographed rookie being the hot ticket. Fanatics’ 2024 Basketball Legacy rolls out Aug 2, and the Jalen Green / Victor Wembanyama dual‑autograph breakout is the one to chase, y’all.

Undervalued cards worth a closer look. Do your homework. 👀

CeeDee Lamb

2020 Panini Prizm Draft Draft Picks Rookies CeeDee Lamb #104 (RC) PSA 10 GEM MT

PSA 10 · Sold 2026-03-15

$9.99

💬 Y’all, a PSA‑10 2020 Panini Prizm Draft Picks rookie #104 for $9.99 is cheap—Lamb’s hit a 1,200‑yard season and genuine GEM‑MTs of that set remain scarce, so the market hasn’t caught the hype yet.

AHMAD SAUCE GARDNER 2022 Panini Prizm 341 Red White Blue RC PSA 9

PSA 9 · Sold 2026-03-08

$10.00

💬 That 2022 Panini Prizm #341 Red‑White‑Blue rookie of Sauce Gardner, graded PSA‑9 and selling for just $10, sits on a thin, early‑career rookie base that could easily surge as his NFL star power rises.

Raw/Unknown · Sold 2026-03-12

Patrick Mahomes

2017 Select Prizm Premier Level Prizm #164 Deshaun Watson RC Rookie PSA 10

PSA 10 · Sold 2026-04-02

$10.00

💬 Even graded PSA‑10, the 2017 Select Prizm Premier Level Mahomes #164 is a low‑population, high‑demand rookie that’s still flying under the radar while everyone chases the newer Helium cuts, so $10 is a serious discount.

Shop on eBay →

💰 Flip Opp #5

Gunnar Henderson

2023 Topps Chrome Logofractor Gunnar Henderson RC Rookie #2 Orioles PSA 8

PSA 8 · Sold 2026-04-01

$10.62

💬 Gunnar’s still a kid on the rise, the Logofractor is a rare cut and a PSA‑8 leaves plenty of room for a grade bump, so the $10.62 tag is probably sleeping on its future hype.

Shop on eBay →

📬 One More Thing

1484 sales moved today, averaging a cool $535.36, and Patrick Mahomes was the runaway MVP of the lot—his recent hunt‑parallel spiked like a rocket. If you’re holding anything from ’21 Panini Hoops or a PSA‑10 Mahomes rookie, now’s the moment to shine or hustle. — Anthony
