I love the matchup this week because it gives me another chance to talk about what is probably by most cherished item in my entire collection (maybe not the most valuable, but it brings me the most joy):
![]() ![]() ![]() This ball was used in and has been photomatched to the 3rd and 4th quarter (and Overtime) of the Chiefs/Bills :13 second game, and has been signed by Mahomes, Tyreek, and Josh Allen (who signed it last, ironically). What's cool is not only is it photo matched, but since it's such a high profile game, it's been easy to find the TV broadcast and video match the ball (including catches by Hill, Kelce, McKinnon, and others). And that's what makes this matchup so fun. These two already have been the premier matchup of this era of the NFL, and while I'm rooting for the Chiefs to win again, if Allen ends up getting by them finally and winning a Super Bowl, it only further cements this as the Brady/Manning matchup of this era. I haven't been as excited for a Chiefs AFC championship matchup as I am with this one.

I can't believe what Prizm Silver PSA 10s are selling for these days.

Yes.
I'm one who can't wrap their heads around how high it's gotten either. I mean, $5k for a PSA 10? The pop is 965 on the 10. It's just insane. His best GOAT comp thus far is Montana and his 1981 Topps PSA 9 sells for half of the Prizm Mahomes PSA 10, but is double the pop. Which would make sense except that the '81 Topps is Montana's only rookie and Mahomes has hundreds of others, many of which are far higher in value. TL; DR - it's supremely overvalued.

I feel Mahomes prices are super low. Even the biased announcers like Aikman can't keep trying to say he "might" catch Brady forever. He will shatter the yards/td records and challenge or eclipse the mvp and SB records. He's a different breed. The only thing for Mahomes would be a major injury... yet he's still first ballot HOF with what he's done today. With the league-wide QB protection trend, that injury is unlikely. He can win with arm or legs. He wins shootouts or grind-a-thons. He wins without Hill.. will win without Kelce... will win without Andy Reid (although Reid could go awhile!). He is built differently. That's for damn sure. Personally, I like Panini 104 Mahomes 2017... really good picture and a basic yet iconic card. Red /49 and Templar and Chainmail are even cooler.

It is cool that's why you should keep it! I see you've listed it on eBay ha

I only asked because they actually peaked at 15k during the boom which is just wild. As Sleeper said, there are thousands of PSA 10 base of Luka, Ja, Zion, and so many others. Less than 1,000 gems for an iconic card like that is pretty wild. At the same time, I could see wanting to get a RC auto instead.

But serious question, as a defender what do YOU recommend the defender should do?

Here's another example (and registry card as well): 1998 Topps Chrome refractor Peyton Manning: It's a pop 45 in a PSA 10 (5% of the pop for the Prizm Mahomes) and sells for ~$10k. Also, the ENTIRE pop for that card across all grades is a measly 432 while the Prizm Mahomes is approaching a total pop of 6,000. Mahomes has a bigger collector base, but not by that much.

On a personal note I'm also not a fan of Manning and don't think he's a great buy for the future (not going to disappear like Brees value, just not bullish) so I honestly would take $10k in Mahomes over a $10k Manning Refractor.

Mahomes does it far better than anyone. You can really see this if you saw the Quarterback show. He is cool to refs, teammates, opponent players. He is a hard dude not to like... even the haters respect him a bit. This stuff is why nearly everyone likes Mahomes or Peyton, yet Lamar Jackson or Favre get barely any endorsements. All are talented... yet the former guys are likable and played the media/league metagame much better than the latter ones. But yeah, the league has to do something about the QB slide and out of bounds stuff. They need more consistency. However, they are playing the game as it is today... in its present form and rule set. Helmet to helmet is automatic flag. Shoves or QB falls OOB and after the throw are probably a flag. All anyone can do is play the hand that they are dealt. Love him or hate him, he does it well. |

I am 44 years old and have been watching sports since I was 6. In my 38 years, I cannot recall a single time a player ever admitted to flopping, let alone express regret.
“I would say the only one I felt like I probably did too much was the one on the sideline where I didn’t get the flag. The ref saw it and didn’t throw a flag, I understood it immediately and know that I probably shouldn’t have done that.” I love this guy. He did not "need" to do that, but I think he actually was disappointed in himself and I don't think you'll see that behavior going forward. |
