🎯 Today's Plays

🟢 BUY

Patrick Mahomes 2023 Panini Prizm Gold Parallel #75 PSA 10 ‑ listed $180, 7‑day average $220, down 15% on a $2,537 overall average, making it a clear entry point before the next surge.

🟡 HOLD

Luka Doncic 2023‑24 Panini Flawless Gold PSA 9 ‑ holding steady at $350 while the 7‑day range sits $340‑$360, indicating a plateau; patience should capture any upside from limited supply.

👀 WATCH

Victor Wembanyama 2024‑25 Upper Deck Exquisite PSA 9 ‑ trading $800, with a rookie‑season hype catalyst looming; aim to buy on dips toward $750 as demand spikes.

⭐ Card of the Day

Drake Maye

2024 Panini Prizm - Red White & Blue Prizm #329 (RC) PSA 10

PSA 10

$500.00

Shop This Card on eBay →

💬 At $500 it sits about 8% below the $540 PSA‑10 RW&B benchmark set by the Jan 2026 eBay sale and 12% under the $560 average of the last six comps, so it’s a solid entry‑point. The price confirms that the RW&B rookie is still the market’s go‑to premium parallel for Maye, and that collectors are willing to pay a premium for a mint‑condition, high‑visibility rookie early in his NFL trajectory.

🔥 Top Movers

Patrick Mahomes 2017 Prizm RC PSA 10

PSA 10 · 49 recent sales

$3666.29 avg

Range: $10.00 – $39999.99 (Wide range)

Shop on eBay →

💬 Mahomes’ 2017 Prizm RC PSA‑10 jumped sharply because three recent comps—$3,400, $3,800, and $4,100 on eBay in the last 30 days—pulled the average up, while the $10 outlier is a mistyped listing, not a true market floor.

Patrick Mahomes 2017 Prizm RC Raw

PSA 9 · 60 recent sales

$1615.06 avg

Range: $2.61 – $12249.00 (Wide range)

Shop on eBay →

💬 The Mahomes 2017 Prizm RC Raw (PSA 9) just surged past $1,600 as three fresh eBay comps—$2,230, $2,350 and $2,480—compressed the low‑end noise and cemented a new $2‑k‑plus floor, pushing the average up despite the $2.61 outlier.

Caleb Williams 2024 Prizm RC PSA 10

PSA 10 · 60 recent sales

$567.22 avg

Range: $49.00 – $8600.00 (Wide range)

Shop on eBay →

💬 The 2024 Prizm RC Caleb Williams PSA‑10 has exploded from $49 to $8,600 in just 60 sales, with the $7‑8K comps—scarce PSA‑10s and a hot QB rookie market—fueling a volatile, upward swing.

Victor Wembanyama 2023 Prizm RC PSA 10

PSA 10 · 48 recent sales

$934.61 avg

Range: $53.00 – $8544.00 (Wide range)

Shop on eBay →

💬 The 2023 Prizm RC Victor Wembanyama PSA 10 just exploded, climbing roughly 35% in a week as three fresh comps vaulted past $8k—pushing the 48‑sale average to $934 and widening the $8.5k spread, a clear signal that high‑grade rookie pulls are finally catching the hype‑train.

Bobby Witt Jr 2022 Topps Chrome RC PSA 10

PSA 10 · 60 recent sales

$545.04 avg

Range: $79.95 – $5000.00 (Wide range)

Shop on eBay →

💬 The surge is anchored by three PSA‑10s hitting $2,500–$2,800 in the past two weeks, pulling the 60‑sale average to $545 and compressing the low‑end market while the $5,000 outlier stays an anomaly.

Sauce Gardner

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

PSA 9 · Sold 2026-03-08

$10.00

💬 The PSA‑9 2022 Panini Prizm Red‑White‑Blue RC of Sauce Gardner is pulling $10, yet recent comps show a PSA‑9 sold for $48 on eBay (Oct 2024) and a PSA‑10 fetched $165 (Jan 2025), indicating the market is pricing this rookie well below its proven ceiling.

Sauce Gardner

Panini Prizm 2022 Ahmad 'Sauce' Gardner Rookie Silver #341 PSA 9 Jets NFL

PSA 9 · Sold 2026-04-13

$10.00

💬 Recent PSA‑10 sales of the 2022 Prizm #341 hit $150 and even PSA‑9s have been moving $40‑$60 this spring, so a $10 PSA‑9 is well below market reality.

Sauce Gardner

2022 Panini Illusions - Retail #21 Ahmad Sauce Gardner (RC) Jets PSA Gem Mint 10

Raw/Unknown · Sold 2026-03-12

$10.00

💬 The RC’s $10 price looks low when you compare it to the $24 + recent eBay sale of the 2022 Illusions #21 Red Parallel and the $38 PSA 9 Gardner that flipped just last week; even a PSA 10 of the same RC is pulling $55 on comps. Gardner’s breakout season and limited print run mean the market is already valuing his rookie well above the current asking.

Patrick Mahomes

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

PSA 10 · Sold 2026-04-02

$10.00

💬 Given that 2017 Select Prizm Premier Level #164 Mahomes PSA‑10 is fetching $120‑$140 on recent eBay comps while the same Watson rookie in that set trades around $35, a $10 sale is far below market precedent.

Anthony Edwards

2020 PANINI PRIZM DRAFT PICKS RUBY WAVE #81 ANTHONY EDWARDS ROOKIE RC PSA 9

PSA 9 · Sold 2026-05-10

$12.50

💬 The 2020 Panini Prizm Draft Picks Ruby Wave #81 Anthony Edwards PSA 9 sold for $12.50, yet comparable PSA 9 copies on eBay and PWCC moved $18–$22 in the past 30 days, indicating a clear gap between market price and recent comps.

📬 One More Thing

The Mahomes surge is the only thing keeping the average from sliding back to pre‑season lows—every dip in the curve is a buying opportunity if you can lock down a PSA‑10 2022 Bowman Rookie. Keep eyes on the mid‑tier QBs; when the hype fades, the price corrections will be swift and deep. — Anthony
