The Super Bowl is one of the most watched sporting events in the United States. Moreover, its popularity significantly impacts the sale of football cards.
In general, the value of football cards rests on their rarity, historical significance, and player popularity. During the offseason and playoffs, the value of the cards of the players who participate in the playoffs can double. Winning the Super Bowl might push a player’s card to unprecedented heights.
Football enthusiasts and memorabilia collectors purchase cards for several reasons. Fans can own something representing their favorite teams and players; collectors enjoy specific sets and versions for their value or significance.
Both fans and collectors can also enjoy the increased value of their purchases as investments or keepsakes. For example, the 2017 National Treasures NFL Shield Pattrick Mahomes Autographed Rookie Card #161 had a value of $4,300,000 in 2021.
Professionals advise consumers to purchase football cards after the Super Bowl. The value of the cards representing the losing team can decrease.
