Graded: 2017 Panini Prizm Rookie Autographs Prizms Gold Vinyl #RADWS Deshaun Watson
When talent meets rarity, sports card collectors have a card of value on their hands. The 2017 Panini Prizm Rookie Autographs Prizms Gold Vinyl #RADWS Deshaun Watson fits the bill on athletic ability and production in the NFL to go along with a short print, five-of-five.
The fortunes for Clemson and head coach Dabo Swinney can be directly tied to the play of Watson in the pocket. From 2011 to 2014, Swinney and the Tigers were always on the cusp of taking that next step. In 2015, Watson’s first full season as a starter, Clemson went 14-1 making a National Championship Game appearance against Alabama.
The following season, Watson and the Tigers would get their revenge beating then-No. 1 Alabama 35-31 in Raymond James Stadium (Tampa, FL) for the title.
After back-to-back Manning Award and Davey O’Brien Award wins, the Houston Texans took Watson in the first round, 12th overall, of the 2017 NFL Draft. The Texans eased Watson into the league during his rookie season starting him in six games before succumbing to a season ending ACL injury. By the end of the 2018 schedule, Watson was lighting up defenses with his arm and rushing abilities.
The 2018-2020 seasons for Watson with Houston were laying tracks for the Hall of Fame. Along with the league leading passing yards (2020), collectors were jumping on Watson’s cards. Off-field issues have slowed Watson’s progression on the field, now with the Cleveland Browns, but his rookie cards are still valuable.
The BGS featured 9.5 Gem Mint, 10 auto, was graded 9 on centering, 9.5 edges, 9.5 corners, and 9.5 surface. Another 2017 Panini Prizm Rookie Autographs Prizms Gold Vinyl #RADWS Deshaun Watson with 9.5 centering, 10 edges, 9 corners, and 9.5 surface is listed online for $9,000.
