Long term. Moderate appreciation (20-40% over 3 years) if Mahomes sustains elite status; risk of decline if supply increases.

Collector notes
Condition. Check for edge chipping and corner wear due to oversized Downtown design; inspect centering (prone to off-centering); surface scratches on foil; avoid print lines or dimples common in inserts.
Storage. Use semi-rigid top loaders or magnetic holders sized for oversized cards; store in cool, dry environment away from sunlight to prevent foil oxidation; sleeve in penny sleeves before holder.
Authenticity. Verify Panini Authentic stamp hologram; check for correct font, color vibrancy, and card stock thickness; cross-reference serial numbers if present; use graded/graded population reports; beware of Chinese counterfeits with blurry printing.
