Triple SSS Sports Cards is a Detroit metropolitan area dealer of sports cards spanning all the major sports, from the NFL to NHL. Among the sought after cards that Triple SSS Sports Cards sells online are those that contain unique game worn jerseys and materials.
The value of such cards, particularly when they are from the player’s rookie year and paired with an autograph, can be immense. An example of a record-breaking price in July 2021 was a 1/1 2017 National Treasures Patrick Mahomes containing both an on-card autograph and an NFL Shield. The latter is the shield logo that is included on every authentic NFL jersey. When placed in a card, it denotes extreme value and scarcity, and is often reserved for one-of-one issues.
Brokered by PWCC Marketplace, the $4.3 million private sale of the BGS 8.5 Mahomes rookie patch auto (RPA) was to a card shop in the Midwest. It shattered the football card record set in March 2021 by the $3.1 million sale of an autographed 2000 Playoff Contenders Championship Tom Brady Rookie Ticket, numbered 99/100. In its BGS 8.5 holder, it was only one of seven such cards in its grade. The Brady sale demonstrated a rapid rise in the sports hobby market, as it had previously sold on eBay for only $400,000 in 2019.
