It’s the beginning of the Daniel Jones era in New York as he takes the mantle from veteran quarterback Eli Manning and collectors hope the value of their Daniel Jones rookie cards will begin to trend upwards.
And expectations are high for New York Giants fans harping for the glory days of their championship runs in 2008 and 2012.
The excitement is palpable as Jones has already shown his talents on the field in his first couple of games.
For those looking to invest in his rookie cards, here are three of his best (with links to take you to the listings on eBay to bid/buy).
1. 2019 Panini Prizm Autograph Card #116
Here’s a popular set with his autograph (although it’s a sticker) rookie cards in his college uniform at a more affordable price than his other high-end cards.
Plus it has an array of parallel cards with some more rare than others that come at different price points.
The shiny stock of the Prizm cards make them look nice too.
2. 2019 National Treasures Rookie Autograph Patch Card
If you’re looking for an on-card autograph with a giant patch rookie card of Jones, then the National Treasures set is for you.
There are different image variations of his rookie cards but they are numbered and some of the patches are multi-colored.
3. 2019 Panini Flawless Autograph Card
For high-end collectors, the 2019 Panini Flawless set consists of beautiful rookie cards – again with different image variations (and some have patch relics).
There are different rare parallel versions with low serial numbers available to collect as well and the on-card autograph is a nice touch.
MORE INFO ON DANIEL JONES: Daniel Jones was drafted sixth overall by the Giants in the 2019 NFL Draft, starting his rookie season as the backup quarterback behind Eli Manning.
But he was named the starter in Week 3 after Manning struggled in the first two games. He had a decent start In his first game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers where Jones threw for 336 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for two more touchdowns, leading the Giants to a 32-31 victory.
Jones had his ups and downs throughout his rookie season, but he showed flashes of potential, finishing the season with 3,027 passing yards, 24 touchdown passes, and 12 interceptions in 13 games.
In his second season, Jones struggled with injuries and ultimately finished the season with 2,943 passing yards, 11 touchdown passes, and 10 interceptions in 14 games.
But in 2022, Jones seemed to have the breakout year many were expecting and in the hobby we saw Daniel Jones rookie cards see an uptick in value.

I just opened a Daniel Jones white hot rookie card #d/50. It’s made by Donruss. I haven’t seen one sold anywhere yet. I assume this card is supper rare?
Yeah we haven’t seen it sold yet either. It’s numbered to 50 so a comparable value might be a gold refractor from a similar set (although slightly less). Or alternatively, a Dwayne Haskins White Hot auto rookie card /50 is listed for $299, which is another good comp.
