When the 2017 National Treasures football set was released on March 21, 2018, Patrick Mahomes’ career stats were a far cry from the history-making numbers they are today. They consisted of one game – the Chiefs’ Week 17 win over Denver to wrap up the 2017 regular season in which he threw for 284 yards and an INT. So when the high-end NT product hit the shelves the following March, fans who pulled a Mahomes might not have been celebrating the same way they would have had he already captured his three Super Bowl titles and two MVPs en route to becoming one the game’s all-time greats.
Of course, today, Mahomes’ 2017 RPAs are some of the most coveted cards of the 21st century. And as the print run on those RPAs lowers, interest increases. The Black parallel of the QB’s 2017 National Treasures Rookie Patch Autographs #161 shortens the base print run of the card from /99 all the way down to /5. Stamped 4/5, this BGS 9 example showcases a piece of the Lamar Hunt memorial patch the Chiefs wear on their jersey every week as well as a 10-grade, on-card auto. It’s a Black beauty that will have plenty of bidders going deep this month.
