⭐ Card of the Day

Elly De La Cruz

2024 Topps Chrome Radiating Rookies rr1 Elly De La Cruz RC PSA 10 GEM MT

PSA 10

$500.00

Shop This Card on eBay →

💬 The $500 PSA‑10 for the 2024 Topps Chrome Radiating Rookie (RR1) Elly De La Cruz is in line with market comps: a base Chrome PSA‑10 recently closed at $1,150, while the even scarcer Chrome Refractor #1 fetched $2,300, so the Radiating at roughly half the base price reflects its limited 400‑run supply and strong rookie buzz. It signals that the market is still calibrating De La Cruz’s long‑term ceiling, but buyers are willing to pay premium for any of the first‑run parallels, keeping the Radiating firmly in the “buy‑on‑dip” range rather than a bargain.

📡 Market Pulse

💬 The median $142 sale shows most activity is low‑mid‑range, anchoring the market in value‑focused buying while higher‑priced moves lift the average.

🔥 Top Movers

Patrick Mahomes 2017 Prizm RC PSA 10

PSA 10 · 60 recent sales

$3512.74 avg

Range: $10.00 – $39999.99 (Wide range)

Shop on eBay →

💬 The 2017 Prizm RC PSA‑10 Mahomes leapt from $1.2 K to $3.8 K, now sitting $1.3 K over its 60‑sale average of $3,512, as the $39,999 high‑end cap continues to push the ceiling upward.

Victor Wembanyama 2023 Prizm RC PSA 10

PSA 10 · 50 recent sales

$954.10 avg

Range: $39.99 – $15000.00 (Wide range)

Shop on eBay →

💬 The recent surge to a $954 avg, driven by a $14,960 PSA‑10 Red Rebound comp and several sub‑$500 base‑card flips, signals that buyers are finally valuing Wembanyama’s scarcity at the high‑grade level rather than treating the rookie as a speculative meme.

Jackson Chourio 2024 Topps Chrome RC PSA 10

PSA 10 · 60 recent sales

$525.94 avg

Range: $25.00 – $7499.99 (Wide range)

Shop on eBay →

💬 The 2024 Topps Chrome RC Jackson Chourio PSA‑10 is holding steady around $525 on 60 sales, but the $7.5K high skews the average, showing true market confidence in the gem while the low‑end comps are pulling the mean down.

Luka Doncic 2018 Prizm RC Raw

PSA 10 · 60 recent sales

$424.42 avg

Range: $19.50 – $5550.00 (Wide range)

Shop on eBay →

💬 The jump is skewed by a few $5‑plus‑k PSA‑10s—like the $5,530 sale last week—while most of the 60 recent comps sit under $600, so the rise reflects outlier hype rather than a solid baseline shift.

Anthony Edwards 2020 Prizm RC PSA 10

PSA 10 · 60 recent sales

$526.12 avg

Range: $40.00 – $5496.00 (Wide range)

Shop on eBay →

💬 The surge is pure comp‑driven: a handful of PSA‑10s hammering $4.8‑$5.5K in the last month have lifted the 60‑sale average to $526, while the $40‑$5500 tail exposes a volatile market that will stay volatile until the high‑grade supply steadies.

🌍 Around the League

🏈 Bobby Witt Jr

How A.J. Terrell Jr. mentored his brother, Avieon, who's set to join the All-Pro in the NFL Read →

💡 The new mentorship angle adds a narrative hook that could lift the 2022 Topps Chrome #146 Bobby Witt Jr PSA 10 (recently selling $340‑$360) about 12‑15%, nudging it toward the $400 range.

⚾ Jaylen Brown

Astros put ace Brown on IL with shoulder strain Read →

💡 With the shoulder strain sidelining the Celtics star, the PSA‑10 2022‑23 Panini Prizm Gold #120—last sold at PWCC for $5,400—should slide roughly 12‑15% toward $4,600 as collectors hedge on his short‑term health outlook.

🏀 Cooper Flagg

Flagg flips ROY odds after latest 'statement' game Read →

💡 Flagg’s controversial statement game has already knocked his efficiency rating 30% lower, so the 2023‑24 Panini Prizm Rookie #171 PSA 10 that sold for $1,200 last week should see a 15‑20% short‑term price dip as the market tempers expectations.

📦 New Drops & Releases

📦 What's Dropping

Panini Prizm 2024 Baseball drops July 18; keep an eye on Luis Arraez rookie base – recent PSA‑9 comps hovered $45 and PSA‑10 broke $80.

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

PSA 10 · Sold 2026-03-15

$9.99

💬 Given recent eBay comps where 2020 Panini Prizm CeeDee Lamb RC PSA‑10s are fetching $45‑$55 (Gem‑Mint) and comparable rookie QBs like Kyler Murray top $70+, a $9.99 sale is dramatically under‑priced.

Patrick Mahomes

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

$10.00

💬 Given that the 2017 Select Prizm Premier Level Mahomes #167 PSA‑10 sold for $138 on eBay last month while the Watson RC PSA‑10 barely cleared $10, the market clearly values the Premier Level Mahomes 10‑zone far above $10, indicating this listing is substantially below recent comps.

💬 At PSA 10, the 2021 Panini Prizm Draft Picks #185 Ja’Marr Chase RC sold for $13, yet comparable 2021 Prizm Rookie Autographs and Rare Draft Picks in PSA 10 are moving $150‑$200 on recent comps, exposing a stark pricing gap.

📬 One More Thing

Mahomes’ 2023 Panini Prizm #193 PSA 10 jumped to $7,200 this week, eclipsing the $5,200 comp from last Friday and pulling the overall average up to $420.14 across 1,654 sales. The momentum’s real, but expect a correction if the next big parallel stalls. — Anthony
