Patrick Mahomes Rookie Card Countdown
Not long ago, you could have found a Patrick Mahomes Rookie Card or two flying under the hobby radar. Being a quarterback and a top ten draft pick, he’s never really been overlooked. However, with limited action in his first season, attention was elsewhere.
That’s changed in a hurry.
Following the 2017 season, Kansas City traded Alex Smith to Washington. In the process, Mahomes was crowned the new Chiefs starting quarterback. That’s when some started to take notice and really speculate. Then the season got underway.
The results, although very early, have been nothing short of revelatory. Week 1’s four-touchdown performance against the Los Angeles Chargers was strong. Mahomes followed it up with six more in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Those ten total touchdowns broke a record for the most through two games. You may have heard of the former record holders who each had nine — Peyton Manning and Drew Brees.
It turns out Mahomes was just getting started. He’s already a Super Bowl Champion and won the NFL’s MVP award. His leadership on and off the field has further endeared Mahomes to fans. Simply put, Patrick Mahomes is the biggest star in football not named Tom Brady.
Patrick Mahomes Rookie Cards have taken on a meteoric rise since he took over in Kansas City. His top cards have broken records and are among the pace setters in the entire hobby.
Patrick Mahomes Rookie Card Overview
Being a top quarterback prospect entering his rookie season, Panini had Patrick Mahomes Rookie Cards well covered. He has over 30 RC cards found in mainstream base sets. And that doesn’t include the other inserts, parallels, autographs and memorabilia cards that number in the hundreds.
That means a lot of choice for collectors when it comes to picking out the right cards that fit their budget and collecting tastes. Some are basic and plentiful, others loaded up with autographs, patches and small print runs. Some carry a deep sense of tradition with their design while others are anything but.
At the moment, all Patrick Mahomes Rookie Cards continue to show tremendous growth. And with each stellar performance, win and championship, that momentum continues to build.
So whether you’re a Chiefs fan, someone sitting on a stash of Patrick Mahomes Rookie Cards or someone looking to add some to your collection, hold on because it looks like we’re in for a wild ride.

Why would Select be so low?
Immaculate should be right after contenders. Very under priced card.
Why is Rookies & Stars Stellar series not anywhere on this list? Patrick Mahomes card #5 for example.
@DebraBrian – That card is an insert, which are not included here.
I would flip #2 and #1. A card with a GEM in it trumps a patch we know that player never wore.
@Lawrence – The patches come from a player-worn jersey.

Out of the following four bgs 9.5 mahomes cards, which card should I sell, biggest demand? And auction or buy it now/best offer?
Tremendous treasures materials prime #2 serial to /25
Panini patented penmanship #5 serial to /10
Plates and patches full coverage #35
Synced signatures, Montana & mahomes, /10 a card with letters on the back but Beckett has changed it to card number 16 which was The Panini redemption number. PSA still grading it as the letters.
I’m 70 years old, female and know very little. I’m only doing this because my adult son is brain damaged and likes cards .
I hope you can give me some direction. Thanks.
@Debra – Sorry, I don’t sell high-end cards. Your best bet might be to check in with an auction house on online consignment service that specializes in such things.
Anyone know of a pat mahomes rookie where a total of 15 was produced
@Kenny – If you go to Beckett.com and in the search bar at the top and type “2017 Patrick Mahomes” and possibly a brand or card number, you’ll get a list.
Anyone know where I can get a Pat. Mahomes rookie card for cheap but still good? Or what pack of cards I might find them in? 😁
This article lists all the sets you can find his RCs in.
