2017 National Treasures Patrick Mahomes ROOKIE PATCH AUTO /99 #161 BGS 9.5

The back of Patrick Mahomes’ 2017 National Treasures RPA gives collectors a look at the mountain of expectations heaped upon him. The Chiefs had not selected a quarterback in the first round of a draft in more than three decades, and considering his record-breaking collegiate output, Kansas City saw Mahomes as a savior-in-waiting. But the Texas Tech product quickly showed he could take whatever the NFL threw at him. In his first season as the starter in 2018, he threw 50 touchdowns and earned MVP honors, and he followed up that performance with a Super Bowl run in 2019. He returned to the Super Bowl in 2022, an unexpected run that ended with another championship, despite Mahomes’ injured ankle. “Kansas City, all year long, didn’t have a No. 1 receiver. Didn’t matter. In the playoffs, they saw their quarterback significantly injured. Didn’t matter,” Fox Sports analyst Nick Wright said after the Chiefs won Super Bowl LVII. “They ripped off a championship a year before they were supposed to be championship caliber....It seems a lot like we are watching Jordan, Phil Jackson, and the Bulls in the ’90s.” Of course, Mahomes has become a mainstay in the Big Game, establishing himself as the greatest player of his generation. Like Mahomes’ rise to the pinnacle of the NFL, National Treasures has become the set that seems to rise to the top every year in the football card industry, as collectors fawn over the elegant RPAs the product always delivers. Featuring a simple, yet elegant, design, this /99 RPA represents one of Mahomes’ leading rookie cards. The certification number on this card has been checked against the third-party grader's online database and is active as of 08/11/2025.
