1. 2017 Panini Contenders Autograph Patrick Mahomes Rookie Card (#303 and #343 variation)

From the popular Rookie Ticket subset, the 2017 Panini Contenders autograph card of Mahomes is a nice one to add to your personal collection.

It’s not as costly as the Panini Contenders rookie card but it still has great value.

The autograph is on a sticker but the card itself has several refractor parallels.

There’s also a rookie patch autograph version as well for those who like the relic auto combination.

Another great option for a Mahomes autograph rookie card is the Donruss Optic Rated Rookie card.

The rare parallels will already set you back thousands of dollars as well.


Since his emergence as one of the best current quarterbacks to play the game, there has been plenty of other non-autograph Patrick Mahomes football cards that are quite valuable. Here are a few more to consider.

We didn’t include some of the super high-end Mahomes cards with lower print runs from such sets as the 2017 National Treasures, but it’s worth checking out at auction houses whenever they’re listed.

WHY PATRICK MAHOMES IS POPULAR IN THE HOBBY: In 2018, Mahomes exploded onto the NFL scene. He showcased his incredible arm strength, precision, and ability to make jaw-dropping throws from any position.

Mahomes led the Chiefs to a phenomenal regular season, throwing for over 5,000 yards and an amazing 50 touchdowns. He became the youngest player in NFL history to win the league’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) award.

If that wasn’t enough, in just his third season as a starter, Mahomes led the Chiefs to Super Bowl LIV against the San Francisco 49ers. Mahomes orchestrated a remarkable comeback to secure the Chiefs’ first Super Bowl victory in 50 years. He was named Super Bowl MVP for his outstanding performance, solidifying Mahomes’ status as one of the elite quarterbacks in the league.

Throughout his young career, Mahomes has shattered numerous records and achieved remarkable milestones. He holds the record for the fastest player to reach 10,000 career passing yards and the most touchdown passes in a player’s first three seasons. Mahomes has also earned multiple Pro Bowl selections, All-Pro honors, and has consistently led the league in exciting plays and deep completions.
