The new NFL season is about to begin in a couple of months. You can already hear Patrick Mahomes fans getting all excited. After the wait is over, the hype for football cards will reach a tipping point, both in prices and demand. When that happens, the current value of NFL cards in the market will be a thing of the past.
Before that happens, it would be wise to chase the sport’s hottest players and their autographed cards. Of course, finding one with a good signature on it is a must. To help you out, here are some of the sweetest-looking autographs that can be found on NFL cards on the market.
Josh Allen
At only 25 years old, Josh Allen is proving to be one of the most exciting guys out there on the field. Proof of his rising star is a match between the Buffalo Bills and a Lamar Jackson-led Baltimore Ravens earlier this year. In that game, Allen connected 62.2 of his passes for 206 yards, notched a touchdown, and committed zero turnovers. His performance helped seal a 17-3 win against the Ravens.
Much like his game on the field, Allen’s on-card signature is something to behold at. The stylish swirls found on his 2018 Flawless Nike Swoosh Rookie Patch Auto is a match made in heaven. Apart from the card’s rarity, Allen’s signature acts as the cherry on top because of its artistic look.
Jordan Love
It’s a shame that Jordan Love’s first year in the NFL didn’t pan out as many would have wanted. Of course, there’s always the new season right around the corner for the 26th pick in the 2020 Draft to prove his worth on the field. If that happens, the Green Bay Packers will get to prove to everyone why trading up during the said draft for Love made a lot of sense.
But before the new season starts, those looking for Love’s stock in the card market would do well to check his 2020 Contenders Clear Ticket Auto out. The signature itself, while being minimalistic at best, is very apt for his name. An ungraded One of One variation of this card recently fetched a whopping $20,000 on eBay.
Joe Burrow
Last year, the hype for Joe Burrow cards in the market reached a fever pitch when the rookie lived up to his status as the draft’s top pick. In his first few weeks playing for the Cincinnati Bengals, Burrow managed to become the first rookie to throw for 300 or more yards in three straight games. With the new season drawing near, a lot of fans will be looking forward to Burrow’s sophomore campaign.
Another thing hobbyists can expect from Burrow is his autographed cards. Just like his 2020 Flawless Cleat Rookie Patch Auto, the quarterback’s signature is on point and takes the card itself to another level. It also helps that it’s numbered two out of five copies, causing its value to skyrocket to $15,500 on eBay.
Daniel Jones
It says something when you’re chosen as the team’s captain in just your second year. That’s the case with Daniel Jones as he ascends into a leadership role for the New York Giants last season. Although they missed the playoffs, Danny Dimes’ promising upside for the Giants has collectors excited for his stock in the card market.
Jones’ signature is much like his improving game. It’s intricate but yields a beautiful result in the end. Just take a look at his 2019 Contenders Red Zone Variation Auto card and you’ll see how captivating his signature looks. Its price is also equally breathtaking because a BGS 10 copy sold for $13,000 recently.
Patrick Mahomes II
Even after losing to Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the last Super Bowl, Patrick Mahomes II’s future as the face of the NFL is rock solid. With his contract restructured by Kansas City Chiefs to save $17 million in cap space, fans can expect the front office to surround him with better pieces for an impending championship run.
Mahomes’ signature, meanwhile, also holds a lot of potential when inscribed on his autographed cards. The football star’s 2017 Optic Purple Rookie Auto is one such example because of its classy look on the card itself. It’s no wonder this Patrick Mahomes card fetched $20,000 in the market just recently.
The ideal time to hunt these sweet-looking autographs is right before the season starts. Once the hype starts building up again for the NFL, the value of these cards will nowhere be as affordable as they are now. Just take a look at those sick autographed cards above so you can be guided accordingly in your investment plans.
