Market outlook
Rising Outlook 7/10
Mahomes' continued dominance and Super Bowl success, combined with the rarity of the Full Art variant, support rising demand. High-grade copies are increasingly scarce, driving up prices.
Next months. Next 3–6 months: Prices likely to rise modestly as collectors seek high-grade copies before the next major football season.
Long term. 1–3 years: Steady appreciation due to Mahomes' legacy and the card's premium status, especially if graded 10 or graded 10.

Collector notes
Condition. Key things to check include centering, edge wear, surface scratches, and corner integrity. Common flaws include printing defects, whitening on edges, and slight misalignment. The Full Art variant has more detailed surface designs that can show wear more visibly.
Storage. Best practices include storing the card in a rigid top loader, using a protective penny sleeve, and keeping it in a cool, dry environment away from direct light. Avoid exposure to humidity and temperature fluctuations.
Authenticity. To spot fakes, compare the card's design, print quality, and serial numbering (if applicable) with known authentic copies. Reprints may lack the same texture or have inconsistent color saturation. Authentication through graded, graded, or graded can confirm legitimacy.
