L ess than two years after their epic Super Bowl LVII matchup, the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles will face off again on the biggest stage for Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans. Jalen Hurts and the Eagles are aiming for their first Super Bowl win since Super Bowl LII in 2018, while Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs look to cement their dynasty with a third straight Super Bowl victory – an unprecedented feat in NFL history.
Let’s take a look at some of the most valuable cards of both teams’ signal-callers, along with their top weapons.
The 2020 NFL Draft was loaded with quarterback talent, with four signal-callers being selected in the first round. Despite his success in college, Jalen Hurts fell to the Eagles in the second round. The Prizm Black Finite parallel is one of the most coveted and sought-after cards in the hobby, so it’s no surprise that Hurts’ rookie example holds the record for his highest card sale to date. In his second Super Bowl appearance, Hurts is looking for revenge and hoping to upset Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.
In his first year with the Eagles, Saquon Barkley put up historic numbers, becoming only the ninth player in NFL history to rush for 2,000 yards. Sold in December 2024, just before their playoff run, this Panini National Treasures card – despite featuring Barkley in his New York Giants jersey – commanded a premium. It represents his rookie season and includes the highly coveted NFL Shield patch, along with an on-card autograph.
In his senior year at Alabama, DeVonta Smith had one of the most dominant seasons by a receiver in college football history, ultimately earning the prestigious Heisman Trophy award. Since being drafted in 2021, Smith has become one of the game’s brightest young stars and one of Jalen Hurts’ favorite targets. Flawless represents the pinnacle of high-end card collecting, and this specific #1/1 example marks the highest DeVonta Smith sale of all time.
The Tennessee Titans fans sure do miss AJ Brown. Brown has always been an electric player, but since his trade to Philadelphia in 2022, he’s taken his game –and his card value – to another level. “Kaboom” cards have been all the rage recently in the hobby, and this #1/1 example represents Brown’s highest sale while wearing an Eagles uniform. When he’s not making plays on the field, you might find him on the sidelines, focusing on his mental game by reading Inner Excellence by Jim Murphy.
Nine. That’s the number of teams that passed on three-time Super Bowl MVP and champion Patrick Mahomes II in the 2017 NFL Draft. Of course, predicting success like this is nearly impossible, but it looks like he could be on his way to a fourth Super Bowl win. Most of Mahomes’ top rookie cards are locked away in collections, but when they surface, they fetch record-breaking amounts – like this rookie year NFL Shield patch autograph. In just his eighth professional season, Mahomes looks to do the unthinkable: lead the Chiefs to their third straight Super Bowl victory.
When it comes to discussing GOAT tight ends, Travis Kelce’s name pops up often. Kelce has done it all on the field, earning 10 Pro Bowl selections and three Super Bowl championships. Since being drafted in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft, his rookie cards aren't nearly as common as those of a first-round selection. When they do pop up, they fetch a premium – like his National Treasures NFL Shield rookie autograph, which has twice sold for over $20,000 at auction. If Travis wins his fourth Super Bowl, could he choose to "hang it up" and ride off into the sunset with Taylor Swift?
With the 28th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Chiefs selected the speedy Xavier Worthy out of the University of Texas. Worthy had a phenomenal rookie campaign, leading all Chiefs receivers in receptions in just his first year. He and Mahomes have clicked in the playoffs, with Worthy leading the entire team in receptions. His 2023 Bowman U Chrome Superfractor, featuring the stunning champagne swirl design, represents his highest card sale to date. Look for Worthy to be a mainstay in the NFL for years to come.
Acquired at the 2024 trade deadline, the Chiefs added yet another weapon for Mahomes. Although he hasn’t played a major role in their playoff run so far, DeAndre Hopkins was a key contributor to their impressive 15-2 regular season record. His 2013 Prizm Black Finite Rookie Card remains his highest-selling card to date. Look for Hopkins to play a role in the big game, and if the Chiefs manage to win, he’s likely on his way to being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
So who’s headed to the podium for Super Bowl LIV? With trading cards for the Eagles’ top four players totaling $171,976 and the Chiefs’ reaching $4.3 million, if this market is any indicator then Mahomes will lead Kansas City to an absolute blowout on Sunday.
