Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with this whole Patrick Mahomes draft card thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. I started out just curious, you know? Like, what’s the big deal with these cards? I saw something about a “2017 Panini National Treasures Patrick Mahomes RC Auto Patch #161 /99” and thought, “What does all that even mean?”
So I dug in. First thing, I just wanted to see what these cards looked like. I found some pictures online, and yeah, they look pretty cool. I mean, it’s Mahomes in his Chiefs uniform, and some of them even have his autograph. That’s pretty neat, right?
Then, I started to look into why people are so into these cards. I saw words like “investment potential” and “rookie cards” being thrown around. Honestly, I didn’t even know what a rookie card was at first. But it turns out, it’s like the first official card of a player when they’re just starting out. And apparently, Mahomes’ rookie cards are a big deal. I found out that these are like, the golden tickets of football cards.
I also stumbled upon something called “Panini’s Next Day Autograph series.” It sounds fancy, but from what I gathered, it’s basically a bunch of cards signed by rookies right after they get drafted. Apparently, Mahomes signed some of these too. That’s a little piece of history.
- Looked at pictures of the cards.
- Checked out why they’re valuable.
- Learned about rookie cards and the Next Day Autograph thing.
While I was on this deep dive, I even ended up reading a little bit about Patrick Mahomes’ mom, Randi Mahomes. She used to play college basketball, who knew? Turns out she played for Texas Tech. Didn’t really have much to do with the cards, but it was an interesting little detour.
So, after all this digging, I’m starting to get why these cards are such a big deal. It’s not just a piece of cardboard; it’s like a little snapshot of the start of Mahomes’ career. And for some people, that’s worth a lot, both sentimentally and maybe even money-wise. I’m not about to go out and buy one myself, but I definitely appreciate them a lot more now.
It’s just crazy how much you can learn from something that seems so simple at first. Who knew a football card could lead me down such a rabbit hole?
