But while those in the hobby who invested in Joe Burrow rookie cards aren't really that ecstatic about the result, the long-term impact of the quarterback's value in the market is still unknown.

As the card sales data from Card Ladder shows, PSA 10 slabs of Burrow's base Prizm card has been on upward trend for the past few months. Of course, things would go on overdrive once the Bengals ousted Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs for the AFC championship.

From that point on, the given figure would go on to climb up some more until it reached the aforementioned peak of $686. As collectors released their Joe Burrow stock into the market, the supply would then overtake demand and bring his prices down. Ultimately, the Super Bowl loss would only drive the value down to its current level of $434.

This is an easier feat than what most people realize. Thanks to a plethora of young stars on rookie contracts, Cincinnati possesses a healthy salary cap situation with a projection of $57.3 million of cap space this year. This allows the Bengals to structure the roster in ways that will maximize Burrow's talent next season.

With that detail in mind, it's safe to say that Cincinnati can take out guys who don't fit well with their system and add those who can make it even better. When that happens, the Bengals could make another deep run at the playoffs, and potentially, at another Super Bowl shot.

Suffice to say, these two reasons alone are convincing enough take a shot at those Joe Burrow rookie cards in the market. Of course, it's best to monitor his PSA 10 prices and pounce once they've hit rock bottom in the coming weeks.
