Patrick Mahomes Reclaims No. 1 in Weekly Football Card Sales
Patrick Mahomes moved back to the top of the weekly football card sales list, edging Tom Brady after several recent weeks with Brady near the summit. The latest top five also included a major Randy Moss sale, giving the week a mix of modern quarterback stars and a Hall of Fame wide receiver.
As with every weekly roundup, the rankings reflect the available sale information at the time of writing and are intended to capture the biggest football card transactions heading into NFL Sunday.
No. 5: 1998 Metal Universe Precious Metal Gems Randy Moss /50 PSA 8
The list opens with a 1998 Metal Universe Precious Metal Gems Randy Moss serial-numbered to 50 and graded PSA 8. The card sold for $28,000 on October 4, 2026 on eBay.
Moss remains one of the most recognizable names from the late 1990s and early 2000s, and his appearance on this week’s list stands out in a countdown often dominated by quarterbacks and running backs. The sale is another reminder of how strong demand remains for key Moss cards from the era.
No. 4: 2017 Panini Contenders Ticket Auto Patrick Mahomes II BGS 9.5 Auto 10
Coming in at No. 4 is a 2017 Panini Contenders Ticket Auto Patrick Mahomes II graded BGS 9.5 with a perfect Auto 10. The card sold for $41,209.20 on October 8, 2026 through ALT auction.
Mahomes rookie autographs continue to be a cornerstone of the modern football card market, and Contenders remains one of the most watched products for collectors chasing his earliest signed cards. A high-grade example with a strong autograph grade keeps this one firmly in the spotlight.
No. 3: 2022 Panini Prizm Black Shimmer Prizm Patrick Mahomes II 1/1 PSA 8
The third-highest sale of the week was a 2022 Panini Prizm Black Shimmer Prizm Patrick Mahomes II one-of-one graded PSA 8. It sold for $45,140 on October 8, 2026 through Goldin Auction.
The card’s black framing and shimmering foil treatment give it a bold look that matches the premium appeal of a true 1-of-1 Mahomes card. Even without a rookie-year designation, the combination of rarity and visual impact helped push the sale into the top three.

Tom Brady returned near the top of the list with a 2000 Playoff Contenders Rookie Ticket Auto graded PSA 7 with a PSA Auto 9. The card sold for $50,000 on October 9, 2026 through eBay.
Brady has been a fixture in weekly football card sales roundups, and this latest result shows that his most important rookie autographs continue to draw strong interest. The 2000 Playoff Contenders Rookie Ticket Auto remains one of the most recognizable cards in the hobby, and multiple versions have surfaced in recent weeks.
No. 1: 2018 Panini Flawless Shield Auto Patrick Mahomes II 1/1 BGS 9.5
The top sale of the week belonged to a 2018 Panini Flawless Shield Auto Patrick Mahomes II one-of-one graded BGS 9.5. The card sold for $200,000 on October 5, 2026 through eBay.
The card features Mahomes on a white background on the right side, with the NFL shield on the left and a blue ink signature below. Even with the BGS 9.5 grade, the card’s rarity, premium presentation, and shield autograph combination made it the clear leader for the week.
Flawless shield autograph cards are among the most sought-after modern football cards, and this Mahomes example delivered the kind of result that keeps the quarterback at the center of the high-end market. The six-figure sale also separated it from the rest of the field by a wide margin.
What This Week’s Football Card Sales Show
This week’s top five highlighted the continued strength of Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady in the football card market. Mahomes claimed both the top spot and two additional places in the countdown, while Brady remained a strong presence with a major rookie autograph sale of his own.
The list also showed that rare inserts and premium autograph cards from different eras continue to command attention. Randy Moss’s 1998 Precious Metal Gems card added a classic late-1990s star to the mix, while the Mahomes and Brady cards reinforced how much demand still centers on elite quarterbacks and key low-population cards.
For collectors following the football market, the week offered another look at the types of cards that continue to move the needle: serial-numbered parallels, one-of-one cards, rookie autographs, and premium shield pieces from the hobby’s most important modern names.
