Brock Purdy Card Market Surges as 49ers Stay Hot

Brock Purdy's Strong Start Is Moving His Card Market

The San Francisco 49ers have opened the season 6-0, and Brock Purdy has been a major part of the surge. After an injury-plagued 2025, the quarterback has thrown for 1,460 yards and 14 touchdowns through six games, giving collectors another reason to pay attention to his market.

Purdy's production has helped fuel renewed interest in his cards, and recent sales data shows the market reacting quickly. Card Ladder data points to a sharp rise in both his overall sales index and key rookie card prices over the past three months.

Card Ladder Data Shows A Steep Increase

According to Card Ladder, Purdy's sales index has climbed more than 60 percent over the last three months, rising from 703 to 1,130. The movement was not perfectly steady, but the trend line has clearly moved upward as the season has progressed.

The data shows a relatively flat stretch from late July through late August before a noticeable jump. That rise lines up with the end of the preseason, when Purdy played on August 20 and gave collectors their first look at him on the field since his injury-hit 2025 season.

Sales volume data also reflects a market that has become more active. While the chart moves up and down from sale to sale, the broader pattern over the past two months has pointed upward.

2022 Panini Prizm Rookie Card Prices Are Rising

For modern NFL players, the PSA 10 rookie card from Panini Prizm is often one of the clearest indicators of market strength. Purdy's 2022 Panini Prizm rookie card has followed that pattern.

Card Ladder data shows that about two months ago, the card had a sale just above $80. On October 22, a documented sale reached $199.99. That works out to roughly a 150 percent increase over the three-month period tracked in the data.

Purdy entered the 2022 Panini Prizm checklist after being selected with the final pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, making him the NFL's Mr. Irrelevant. Since then, his rookie cards have remained among the most watched modern quarterback issues in the hobby.

Silver Prizm Also Gains Ground

Purdy's 2022 Panini Prizm Silver rookie card has also seen meaningful growth. Three months ago, Card Ladder shows the PSA GEM MT 10 version selling for around $600.

The latest recorded sale, on October 19, reached $1,101.60. That is nearly double the earlier figure and represents about a 50 percent increase in the tracked period.

While the Silver Prizm has not climbed as sharply as the base rookie card in percentage terms, it remains one of the most closely watched cards in Purdy's market. The combination of on-field success and collector demand has pushed both cards higher at the same time.

Why Purdy's Market Is Moving Now

Quarterback performance and team success often shape the hobby market, and Purdy has both working in his favor right now. The 49ers' unbeaten start has kept attention on the team, while Purdy's passing numbers have strengthened his profile as a key reason for that success.

The timing of the market jump also matters. Card Ladder's charts show the first major move coming after Purdy returned to the field in preseason action, suggesting collectors were waiting for proof of health before pushing prices higher.

That kind of reaction is common in the sports card market, especially for quarterbacks whose value can move quickly based on weekly results. Purdy's recent run has given collectors a fresh reason to revisit his cards, and the data shows they have done exactly that.

What Collectors Are Watching Next

No market trend moves in a straight line, and Purdy's cards will continue to depend on health, performance, and the 49ers' results. The current rise reflects a strong stretch, but it does not guarantee that prices will keep climbing at the same pace.

Still, the recent numbers show clear momentum. With Purdy already at 1,460 passing yards and 14 touchdowns in six games, and with San Francisco off to a 6-0 start, his card market has plenty of current fuel.

For collectors tracking modern quarterback rookies, Purdy's 2022 Panini Prizm base and Silver cards are among the clearest examples of how quickly a strong season can change hobby demand.
