About Patrick Mahomes II

Patrick Mahomes' 2017 National Treasures #161 is his flagship NFL Rookie Patch Autograph in the modern football-card market. Collectors search for it because the /99, low-numbered parallels, and NFL Shield 1/1 have very different supply, grades, and documented sale levels.

Why this card matters

Verified factNational Treasures is treated by many football collectors as a flagship RPA product, and PSA describes the 2017 issue as an ultra-high-end product with Rookie Patch Autographs numbered to 99. Mahomes became the central rookie in the checklist, so the #161 RPA is searched by player collectors, Chiefs collectors, and high-end modern football buyers. The card's importance should be tied to exact version evidence: the /99, Holo Gold /10, and NFL Shield 1/1 are not interchangeable. [1]

Identifying the exact version

Verified factIdentify the card by season, manufacturer, set, number, autograph/relic format, serial number, and grade. The /99 Rookie Patch Autograph is card #161; Holo Gold is a lower-numbered parallel; and the NFL Shield 1/1 is a separate single-copy treatment. PSA's set page places Rookie Patch Autographs at #161-#201 and lists Holo Gold and 1/1 treatments in the product structure. A listing title that says Mahomes RPA is not enough unless the visible serial number and patch treatment match the claimed variant. [1]

What moves the price between versions and grades

Verified factFor this card, price differences come from serial number, patch appeal, card grade, autograph grade, and whether a buyer is paying for the main /99 or a lower-numbered parallel. A BGS 9.5 /99 sold for $138,000 with buyer's premium at Fanatics Collect on August 29, 2025, while a BGS 9 /99 sold for $93,000 at Heritage on February 25, 2024. Bleacher Report also reported a Holo Gold /10 at $173,240 including Goldin's buyer's premium, but that report did not give a precise close date beyond the article context. [2][3][4]

Authenticity checks

AnalysisAuthenticity work should compare against official references; multiple checks; no destructive tests; copied cert numbers exist. For Mahomes National Treasures, verify the #161 card number, Panini branding, autograph location, relic window, serial numbering, grader label, and cert details. Relic wording and patch type matter because a shield, laundry tag, brand logo, or ordinary patch may represent a different treatment. A copied cert number or a vague 1/1 title can mislead buyers, so listing photos need to show the same physical slab and serial-numbered card. [1][2][3]

Telling the versions apart

VersionHow to identify it
Rookie Patch Autograph /99Card #161 with on-card autograph, jumbo relic window, and serial numbering to 99.
Holo Gold Rookie Patch Autograph /10Holo Gold parallel of #161 with serial numbering to 10.
NFL Shield 1/1Platinum/NFL Shield treatment with 1/1 numbering and shield relic; do not merge with other 1/1 National Treasures inserts.
Identity note: Seed identity is broadly correct. PSA CardFacts identifies Rookie Patch Autographs as #161-#201 and describes the #161 Mahomes as part of the 2017 National Treasures product.
Why collectors look this card up: $4.3M PWCC private sale; landmark modern football RPA. source 1

What people get wrong about this card

Every Mahomes National Treasures RPA comp can be averaged together.
The /99, /10, /5, and 1/1 treatments are separate variants; ch09 requires serial number and relic details to be separated.
The NFL Shield 1/1 proves every #161 copy should be valued like a record card.
A 1/1 result belongs to that specific variant; ch03 requires exact comparable sales for the version being valued.
The patch alone makes the card authentic or premium.
Patch type must match manufacturer/card wording and the physical card; ch06 requires multiple checks and provenance for unusual high-value pieces.
