287 rookie cards across Football, Basketball, Hockey, Baseball. Sorted by estimated gem mint value.
2025 Leaf Metal Draft Arch Manning Auto
Leaf Metal Draft autograph. Leaf operates outside NFLPA/Panini licensing — Manning-branded unlicensed auto is where pre-draft money concentrates before the official Topps/Fanatics rookie products drop post-combine 2026. Leaf's Manning autos carry premium over standard draft-class autos by 8-12x based on bloodline + #1-pick projection. Draft-week hobby spike narrative — values typically peak Day 1 of NFL Draft then normalize.
2025 Panini Prizm WNBA Paige Bueckers RC
Prizm WNBA RC for the most anticipated WNBA draft pick since Caitlin Clark. Bueckers' combination of scoring ability, court vision, and marketability makes her a generational collectible. Her injury comeback story adds to the narrative.
2025 Leaf Ultimate Draft Gavin McKenna Auto
Leaf Ultimate Draft autograph. Leaf operates outside the NHL/NHLPA/UD licensing stack — Ultimate Draft is the highest-tier unlicensed pre-draft auto product. McKenna's Ultimate Draft auto is the canonical pre-draft investment card for the 2026 class — $3,800 PSA 10 floor pre-draft with color parallels (Gold /10, Black 1/1 Masterpiece, Red /5) trading $8K-$28K. Expected to double through the draft (June 2026) and hold value post-Sharks/Hurricanes selection if they tank as projected.
2025 Bowman University Paige Bueckers #1
The consensus #1 pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft. Bueckers was the first-ever freshman to win AP Player of the Year at UConn. After overcoming two devastating knee injuries, she returned to lead UConn back to prominence. The most NIL-valuable women's basketball player ever.
2025 Panini Contenders Draft Picks AJ Dybantsa Auto
Contenders Draft Picks Optic autograph. On-card autograph flagship for the #1 overall projected pick. Dybantsa's pre-draft hobby weight exceeds the typical top-recruit tier because of BYU's NIL-cornerstone role — his signing was the Mormon school's most public basketball moment since Jimmer Fredette 2011. $2,400 PSA 10 floor with Cracked Ice / Championship Ticket / Gold Vinyl color parallels trading $5K-$14K. Values expected to peak the week of the 2026 NBA Draft combine.
2025 Panini Contenders WNBA Paige Bueckers RC
Contenders WNBA RC. Bueckers enters the WNBA as the most hyped prospect since Diana Taurasi. Her scoring touch from all three levels and elite passing make her a franchise player from day one.
2025 ITG Draft Prospects Gavin McKenna Auto
ITG Draft Prospects autograph. ITG's 2025 follow-up to the 2024 base — features an on-card auto signed during the pre-draft combine/photo-day circuit. ITG autos historically settle at 40-55% of Leaf Ultimate auto values for the same player — McKenna ITG auto at $1,950 PSA 10 is the cleaner speculative entry for collectors who want the auto without the Leaf Ultimate premium. Expected to benefit from the same draft-day spike, just lower-beta.
2025 Panini Contenders Draft Picks Cameron Boozer Auto
Contenders Draft Picks Optic autograph. Contenders is the canonical basketball rookie-auto flagship — Boozer's on-card auto carries bloodline-premium (son of Carlos Boozer) plus pre-draft top-5 projection. $1,650 PSA 10 floor with Cracked Ice / Gold Vinyl / Championship Ticket color parallels trading $3,500-$9,000. Last Panini-Optic-branded basketball draft product before Fanatics-NBA licensing pivot expected 2026-27 — print-run scarcity reinforces terminal-product hobby premium.
2025 Panini Contenders Draft Picks Darryn Peterson Auto
Contenders Draft Picks Optic autograph. On-card auto — canonical rookie-auto format for the 2025-26 college basketball season. Peterson's three-level scoring archetype + Kansas blueblood visibility + scoring-guard hobby demand = mid-tier top-5-2026-projection auto pricing. $1,250 PSA 10 floor with Cracked Ice / Gold Vinyl / Championship Ticket color parallels trading $2,400-$6,500. Kansas fanbase contributes material secondary demand — Jayhawks hobby base is among the strongest in college hoops.
2025-26 Upper Deck Young Guns Matthew Schaefer RC
Upper Deck Young Guns SP. The flagship NHL licensed rookie card — 1-in-4 pack odds, SP-numbered in the 251-label run, timed to Schaefer's 2025-26 NHL debut on Long Island. Young Guns is the canonical hockey rookie slot; #1 overall picks historically set the pricing ceiling for their draft class. Schaefer's YG joins a Celebrini-Demidov-Sennecke-Schaefer four-year arc of generational-caliber rookies. $1,200 PSA 10 floor with Canvas parallels trading $2,200-$3,800 and Exclusives /100 at $5K-$9K.
2025 Topps Series 1 Roki Sasaki #1

2025 Panini Prizm Draft Picks Arch Manning
Panini Prizm Draft Picks. Final Panini-branded NFL draft product — the 2025 set is the last before Fanatics takes over the NFL license in 2026. Manning's Prizm DP base RC at $800 PSA 10 floor with refractor parallels (silver / red wave / gold) trading $1,500-$4,000 in the draft-week speculation window. Bloodline-locked hobby narrative + collectible scarcity of the terminal Panini NFL product = a card that will matter for decades.
2025 Panini Contenders Draft Picks LaNorris Sellers Auto
Contenders Draft Picks Optic autograph. Contenders autograph is the canonical draft-class flagship hit — Sellers' auto RC carries a $650+ PSA 10 floor with Cracked Ice / Gold / Red color parallels trading $1,100-$2,800. Modern-mobile QB ceiling with SEC polish = Day 1 draft floor. Final Panini-Optic Contenders before Fanatics takeover makes the print-run collectible-scarce.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Picks AJ Dybantsa
Panini Prizm Draft Picks. Numbered #1 as the top-ranked recruit — literal base-card placement reinforces hobby-consensus status. Dybantsa's skill-to-size combination positions him alongside Paolo Banchero / Jayson Tatum lineage wing forwards. Prizm DP base at $640 PSA 10 with color parallels (Red Wave / Gold / Kaleidoscope) trading $1,400-$3,800. Cougars WCC visibility is lower than SEC/ACC/Big 12, but BYU games on ESPN lock in national draft-stock exposure through the 2025-26 season.
2025 Panini Contenders Draft Picks Nate Ament Auto
Contenders Draft Picks Optic autograph. On-card auto. Ament's wing-forward skill profile + Tennessee development pedigree under Barnes + late-lottery 2026 projection = mid-tier speculative-auto lane. $580 PSA 10 floor with Cracked Ice / Gold / Championship Ticket parallels trading $1,100-$2,600. Hobby upside hinges on whether Vols make an NCAA Elite Eight + Ament produces consistent 15+ ppg with efficient 3pt shooting — both tracking positively through early 2025-26.
2025 Topps Series 1 Paul Skenes #1
Card #1 in 2025 Topps — a statement about Skenes' significance. The base RC of the most hyped pitcher in modern baseball.

Cooper Flagg 2025 Prizm Draft #1 Rookie Card
Projected #1 overall pick in 2025 NBA Draft. Duke freshman phenom. 6-9 two-way wing who dominated the ACC from day one. The next franchise player.
2025 Leaf Metal Draft Cade Klubnik Auto
Leaf Metal Draft autograph. Leaf's unlicensed-auto tier is pre-draft speculation territory. Klubnik's clean mechanical profile + starting QB at Clemson (ACC brand equity) + 4-year starter durability flag = mid-1st-round hobby lane. Metal Draft autos typically 3-5x Prizm DP base — color parallel Die-Cuts in the $900-$1,800 band through draft week.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Picks Cameron Boozer
Panini Prizm Draft Picks. Prizm DP is the canonical pre-draft basketball hobby flagship — numbered 15 as a top-tier 2025 recruit. Boozer's 6-9 skill forward profile + elite rebounding instincts + proven winner DNA (4x state champion, 2x U18 gold medalist) = cleanest top-5 2026 NBA Draft lane. Prizm DP base at $480 PSA 10 with Silver/Green/Red Wave parallels trading $850-$2,400 through the Duke freshman season and 2026 draft combine.
2025 Bowman Chrome Jesus Made #BCP-1
1st Bowman Chrome — the canonical first Bowman Chrome card. Made's assignment as card #BCP-1 (subject of the "1 card" in the 2025 Bowman Chrome prospect checklist) is a strong Topps editorial signal — only one prospect gets BCP-1 each year, and the checklist slot tracks with top-prospect velocity (recent BCP-1 slots: Holliday 2023, Chourio 2022). Brewers SS depth chart clears for Made around 2028-29. Switch-hitting, plus-power, plus-speed profile — the kind of Bowman Chrome 1st that historically prices $450-$1,500+ at peak hype.
2025 Topps Chrome Jackson Jobe RC
Topps Chrome official MLB rookie card. Jobe broke camp with Detroit as a back-end starter and held a rotation slot all year with sub-4.00 ERA across 140+ IP. Chrome RC is the canonical institutional card for a pitcher — refractor parallels with a BGS 9.5 or better cross-over from $420 floor to $800-1,400 band for colored parallels. Tigers rotation anchor for the 2026-2031 window if health holds.
2025 Panini Prizm WNBA Dominique Malonga RC
Prizm WNBA RC. Malonga's Storm debut positions her as the franchise's youngest cornerstone since Lauren Jackson. French national team star — 2024 Paris Olympics silver medalist. Draft-and-stash risk (Euro buyout clause) mitigated by immediate WNBA arrival. International hobby appeal stretches RC demand beyond US borders.
2025 Panini Contenders Draft Picks Jeremiyah Love Auto
Contenders Draft Picks Optic autograph. RB auto at draft-class year is the cleanest hobby entry for the position — Love's contact-balance + receiving chops profile matches the modern NFL dual-threat template (Bijan Robinson / Jahmyr Gibbs lineage). $385 PSA 10 floor with color parallels trading $600-$1,400. Notre Dame pedigree + St. Louis Midwest-hobby base = organic demand runway.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Picks Darryn Peterson
Panini Prizm Draft Picks. Numbered 3 — hobby placement tracks consensus top-3 recruit status. Peterson projects as the most NBA-ready scoring guard in the 2026 draft class — his college-freshman usage + efficiency at Kansas will define his draft stock. Prizm DP base at $340 PSA 10 with Silver / Red Wave / Gold parallels in the $600-$1,600 band. Big 12 visibility is ideal for hobby exposure — Kansas games draw regional + national audience.
2025 Panini Prizm WNBA Hailey Van Lith RC
Prizm WNBA RC. Van Lith is the best hobby bet among mid-1st-round WNBA picks for one reason: social reach. TikTok + Instagram + NIL portfolio built across Louisville/LSU/TCU makes her a brand-equity play separate from pure on-court projection. Sky bench guard minutes year 1, but resale demand outstrips draft slot by 2x. High-variance: breakout = 3x; role-player = hold.
Cooper Flagg 2025 Topps Chrome Draft #101 Rookie Card
Chrome version of the most hyped college player since Zion. Newport, Maine native. USA Basketball at 16. The real deal.
2025 Topps Chrome Roki Sasaki RC
Chrome RC for the Dodgers Japanese phenom. Sasaki fastball-splitter combination is considered the best in professional baseball. His ceiling is a Cy Young-caliber pitcher on a team already loaded with aces. This card could be a monster.
2025-26 Upper Deck Young Guns Cayden Lindstrom RC
Upper Deck Young Guns SP. 2025-26 Series 1 issues Lindstrom's official NHL RC Young Guns — timed to his NHL debut year with Columbus. Young Guns is the canonical hockey rookie card slot; Lindstrom's 6-3 power-center profile + top-6 scoring upside at CBJ give him a Calder-dark-horse hobby lane. $300 PSA 10 floor with Canvas parallels trading $600-$950 and Blue SP parallels at $1,800-$3,200.
2025 Bowman University Dominique Malonga #BU-5
Bowman University. Malonga was the 2nd overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft — Seattle Storm selected the 19-year-old French 6-6 center after her ASVEL Lyon EuroLeague breakout. Youngest first-round pick in WNBA history. Modern mobile rim-protector with a developing face-up game. Comp: Alanna Smith with more post skill.
Travis Hunter 2025 Panini Prizm Draft #2
2024 Heisman Trophy winner. The first true two-way player since Deion Sanders — played WR AND CB for Colorado. 92 receptions AND 4 interceptions in the same season. #1 overall pick material. Generational talent.
2025 Panini Contenders WNBA Dominique Malonga RC
Contenders WNBA RC. Malonga's combination of youth + international pedigree + Storm organizational stability creates a 10-year projection window. Rookie autograph parallels from the Contenders line carry premium weight in WNBA given the auto-supply constraints. Watch for a franchise-centerpiece arc as Seattle rebuilds post-Bird/Stewart.
2025 Bowman University Hailey Van Lith #BU-18
Bowman University. Van Lith was the 11th overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft — Chicago Sky took the 5-7 combo guard after her TCU breakout (19.5 ppg / 5.4 apg senior season). Three-school career (Louisville 2020-23 → LSU 2023-24 → TCU 2024-25). NIL-era marquee name — top-5 highest NIL valuation in women's college hoops for multiple years. Clutch-scorer reputation from March Madness runs.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Picks LaNorris Sellers
Panini Prizm Draft Picks. NIL-era dual-threat SEC archetype, projected mid-1st-round entering his 2025 junior year. Prizm DP base at $220 PSA 10 with color parallels in the $350-$700 band. Mobility at 245lbs is the rarest template in the 2026 class — Hurts + Lamar + Cam hybrid with throwing upside untapped pre-college. Values spike on draft-week news; hold-to-draft strategy is the clean hobby play.
2025 Topps Chrome Owen Caissie RC
Topps Chrome MLB RC. Caissie's long-awaited Cubs promotion arrived mid-2025; he hit the ground at .254/.320/.463 with 14 HR in 82 MLB games and an expected full-time corner OF role for 2026. Canadian + 30-HR ceiling + Cubs organizational placement = RC hobby heat exceeds his draft-slot pedigree. Chrome Refractor is the institutional rookie card for the profile.
2025 Topps Series 1 Jackson Chourio RC #250
The Brewers' teenage sensation signed an 8-year, $82M extension before ever playing a full season. Chourio's five-tool potential is why Milwaukee committed big — his 2025 Topps RC is a key future chase card.
2025 Topps Series 1 Travis Bazzana #300
The #1 overall pick makes his flagship Topps debut. Bazzana is the first Australian drafted first overall and brings a rare blend of contact skills and gap power.
2025 Topps Series 1 Dylan Crews RC #205
Crews makes his official MLB flagship Topps debut with the Washington Nationals. One of the most polished college bats in recent draft history.
2025 Topps Series 1 James Wood RC #180
Wood makes his flagship Topps debut with Washington. At 6-foot-7 with plus speed and power, he represents the modern prototype for an outfielder and anchors the Nationals future.
Cooper Flagg 2025 Bowman University #1
Bowman University debut. Named ACC Player of the Year as a freshman. Generational two-way talent with a 7-1 wingspan.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Cam Ward
The most electric quarterback in the 2025 draft class. Ward transferred from Washington State to Miami and threw for 4,313 yards and 39 TDs in 2024. His arm talent and improvisational ability drew comparisons to Patrick Mahomes. A Heisman finalist and likely top-2 pick.
2025 Topps Series 1 Roki Sasaki RC
The most hyped international pitching prospect since Shohei Ohtani. Sasaki threw a perfect game in Japan NPB at age 20 and has touched 102mph. He signed with the Dodgers as a 23-year-old, joining Ohtani in what might be the greatest pitching rotation ever assembled.
Travis Hunter 2025 Panini Prizm Draft #2
2024 Heisman Trophy winner. The first true two-way player since Deion Sanders — plays both WR and CB at an elite level. Flipped from FSU to Colorado for Coach Prime. 92 catches, 1,152 yards, 15 TDs on offense PLUS 4 INTs on defense. Generational.
2025 Panini Contenders Garrett Nussmeier RC Auto
Contenders RC auto — the iconic ticket stub design. LSU QBs have been on fire in the hobby: Burrow's Contenders RC peaked at $50K+. Nussmeier isn't Burrow but the LSU QB brand carries weight. Drafted by a team desperate for a franchise QB.
2025 Panini Prizm WNBA Sonia Citron RC
Prizm WNBA RC. Citron's 3-and-D archetype is the modern WNBA wing template — reliable corner 3, positional defense, low-usage offense that translates immediately. The Mystics' rebuild is anchored by her + Iriafen + Brittney Sykes. Day-1 starter projection. Hobby angle: 3&D role-players undervalued at draft; breakout catalyst = first All-Star nod in year 2-3.
2025-26 Panini Prizm Derik Queen RC #259
Prizm RC. Queen was a lottery-range pick in the 2025 NBA Draft after one Maryland season (16.5 ppg / 9.0 rpg / 1.9 apg as a Big Ten Freshman of the Year). 6-10 / 240 skilled big from Baltimore, Montverde Academy alum. Unique face-up game, playmaking touch, questionable defensive profile.
2025 Panini Prizm WNBA Kiki Iriafen RC
Prizm WNBA RC. Iriafen's paint-first scoring profile (jump-hook + drop-step + offensive rebound putbacks) translates to immediate WNBA minutes. The Watkins/Iriafen USC pairing produced one of the most-watched women's CBB seasons in history. Mystics' frontcourt of Iriafen + Shakira Austin creates a modern twin-tower look.
2025 Panini Contenders WNBA Hailey Van Lith RC
Contenders WNBA RC. Van Lith's path (Louisville Elite Eight → LSU transfer slump → TCU redemption) is the three-school NIL-era archetype. Hobby rewards players who survive multi-school journeys with their skill intact. Contenders line's rookie autograph parallels are where her real long-tail value lives — watch for 1/1 auto hits in sealed inventory.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Picks Cade Klubnik RC
Panini Prizm Draft Picks. Klubnik's accuracy metrics (68% completion, 9.1 Y/A in 2025) match a top-15 NFL floor. Traditional pocket passer with plus arm talent — profile closest to Brock Purdy / Bo Nix blueprint. Prizm DP base at $170 PSA 10 with upside $280-450 on refractor parallels if he lands inside the top-10 at the 2026 NFL Draft.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Picks Nate Ament
Panini Prizm Draft Picks. Tennessee freshman year under Barnes is the development crucible — if Ament's three-level shooting verifies at SEC competition, he moves from late-lottery to top-10 projection. Prizm DP base at $160 PSA 10 with Silver / Red Wave / Gold parallels in the $280-$700 band. SEC hoops visibility (Tennessee games on SEC Network + ESPN) gives Ament maximum national-hobby exposure through 2025-26.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Picks Jeremiyah Love
Panini Prizm Draft Picks. Modern RB hobby economics are treacherous — RC floor is $155 PSA 10 but 2nd-contract boost can 3-5x the valuation 4 years post-draft. Love's 2025 junior projection (1,400+ yds) + Irish playoff run equity = Day 2 floor with late-1st ceiling if combine verifies the explosiveness metrics. Receiving-back skillset (43 catches 2024) protects against pure-rusher devaluation.
2025 Topps Series 1 Wyatt Langford RC #210
The Rangers' #4 overall pick in 2023 who hit for the cycle in his first week in the majors. Langford's rare combination of power and speed makes his RC a high-upside modern play.
Shedeur Sanders 2025 Panini Prizm Draft #1
Coach Prime's son. Colorado QB who threw for 4,000+ yards and 37 TDs. The most polarizing prospect in draft history — you either believe in the Sanders brand or you don't. Top-5 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Travis Hunter 2025 Bowman University #TH1
Bowman University card of the most unique prospect in NFL history. Originally committed to Florida State as the #1 recruit in America, flipped to Colorado for Coach Prime. Changed the entire college football landscape.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Ace Bailey #1
6'10" wing scorer with guard skills. Bailey is the consensus #1 pick in the 2025 draft out of Rutgers. His shooting touch, length, and scoring versatility draw Kevin Durant comparisons. The most hyped college freshman since Zion.
2025 Bowman University Cam Ward #101
The transfer portal poster child. Ward went from Incarnate Word to Washington State to Miami — improving at every stop. His 2024 Miami season was one of the best in ACC history. The question is not if he goes top 5, but if he goes #1 overall.
2025 Bowman Chrome Roki Sasaki BCP
Bowman Chrome for Sasaki — the card product most associated with prospect value. His NPB numbers (164 K in 111 IP) translate to elite MLB production. The Dodgers overpaid in the posting process because they believe he is a generational arm.
2025 Topps Chrome Kristian Campbell RC #135
Topps Chrome RC. Campbell made the Red Sox Opening Day roster in 2025 at age 22 — a stunning 18 months after being a 4th-round pick. Primary 2B with OF flex. AL ROY betting favorite. Hobby darling of spring 2025, prices surged 10x from 2023 Bowman Draft to this RC.
2025 Bowman University Sonia Citron #BU-8
Bowman University. Citron was the 3rd overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft — Washington Mystics selected the Notre Dame wing for her 3-and-D fit next to Kiki Iriafen. 6-1 with a smooth stroke (38% from 3 as a junior) and two-time ACC All-Defensive selection. New Rochelle, NY native. Comp: Gabby Williams with better shot-making.
2025 Panini Prizm WNBA Aneesah Morrow RC
Prizm WNBA RC. Morrow to her hometown Sky is the narrative lock of the 2025 Draft — Chicago PF joining Chicago franchise with Angel Reese + Kamilla Cardoso already on the roster. The frontcourt depth is absurd. Morrow's niche: 3rd big / small-ball 4 rebounding specialist. Career arc = Jonquel Jones-lite if the jumper extends.
2025 Panini Prizm Nick Emmanwori RC #362
Prizm RC. Emmanwori was Seattle's 35th overall pick in 2025. His combine was among the most athletic ever recorded: 6-3 / 220, 4.38 forty, 43-inch vert, 11-6 broad jump — 99th-percentile athlete scores across nearly every drill. South Carolina product converts from CB in the NFL.
2025-26 Panini Select Derik Queen RC #148
Select RC. Queen's skill-set profile (point-forward-big) is exactly the modern NBA archetype. Baltimore's first lottery pick in a decade. His buzzer-beater to send Maryland to the Sweet 16 over Colorado State was the signature college moment of the 2024-25 season.
2025-26 Panini Prizm Walter Clayton Jr. RC #292
Prizm RC. Clayton led Florida to the 2025 National Championship and won Final Four Most Outstanding Player at age 22. 6-3 combo guard — elite pull-up 3, tough-shot maker, big-moment player. Transferred from Iona. Lake Wales, FL native with a signature scoring game.
2025 Topps Series 1 Brooks Lee RC #325
Flagship RC. Lee made his MLB debut and immediately showed why he was a top-10 pick. His plate discipline is elite — he works deep counts and sprays line drives to all fields. The Twins have their shortstop of the future.
2025 Panini Contenders Draft Cam Ward
Contenders ticket. Ward is the highest-upside QB in the 2025 class. His ability to throw off-platform and extend plays makes him the modern NFL prototype. Draft night will determine if his cards become the class blue chip.
Travis Hunter 2025 Bowman University #TH1
Bowman University RC. Hunter played 1,100+ snaps in 2024 — nearly every play on both sides of the ball. No one has done this since Chuck Bednarik in the 1950s. The NFL debate: WR1 or CB1? Answer: both.
Shedeur Sanders 2025 Panini Prizm Draft #1
Son of Deion Sanders, Colorado QB, projected top-5 pick. Threw for 4,134 yards and 37 TDs in 2024. Elite pocket passer with pinpoint accuracy and the calmest demeanor in college football. Built-in brand from day one.
2025 Bowman Draft Hagen Smith 1st #BD-3
Bowman 1st of the SEC Pitcher of the Year. Smith dominated the toughest conference in college baseball with a four-pitch mix anchored by a plus-plus slider. His strikeout numbers rivaled the best college pitchers in the past decade. The kind of arm that can fast-track through a farm system and reach the majors within two years of being drafted.
2025 Panini Contenders WNBA Sonia Citron RC
Contenders WNBA RC. Citron is the quietest top-5 pick in her class — no viral NCAA moment, just four steady years at Notre Dame. That's precisely the profile hobby punishes at draft but rewards year 3-4 once production stabilizes. Long career arc bet, not short-squeeze flip.
2025 Bowman University Kiki Iriafen #BU-11
Bowman University. Iriafen was the 4th overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft — Washington Mystics paired her with Sonia Citron to anchor the rebuild frontcourt. 6-3 PF who played at Stanford (2021-24) and transferred to USC for 2024-25 alongside JuJu Watkins. 19.4 ppg / 8.4 rpg senior year. Nigerian-American LA native.
2025 Topps Series 1 Junior Caminero #50
Tampa Bay's young talent with elite bat-to-ball skills making his flagship Topps debut.
2025 Bowman University Ace Bailey #AB1
Bowman University card. Bailey averaged 20+ PPG at Rutgers as a freshman. His ability to score at all three levels — post, mid-range, and three — is rare for a player his size. The unicorn wing every team wants.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Dylan Harper #2
Son of former NBA player Ron Harper. Dylan is a 6'6" combo guard with elite scoring instincts. He averaged 22+ PPG at Rutgers as a freshman. His combination of size, skill, and basketball IQ makes him a top-3 pick.
Travis Hunter 2025 Panini Contenders Draft #TH
Contenders draft ticket. Hunter is the most versatile football player in a generation. At 6'1" 185 lbs with 4.35 speed, he could be an All-Pro at two positions simultaneously. The card market has never seen anything like this prospect.
2025 Bowman University Hagen Smith #BU-15
Bowman University of the Arkansas ace. Smith was the most dominant college pitcher in the 2025 draft class, posting a 15+ K/9 rate with an elite slider that buckled SEC hitters all season. Projected as a top-5 pick, his combination of velocity, spin rate, and command is rare for a college arm.
2025 Topps Chrome Cade Horton RC #165
Chrome RC. The Cubs' ace of the future arrives. Horton's 97 mph fastball and devastating slider project as a front-of-rotation starter. Chicago is a massive market and Cubs pitching aces (Wood, Prior, Arrieta) create legendary hobby moments.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Carson Beck RC #105
Prizm Draft RC. Beck stepped into the shoes of Stetson Bennett at Georgia and proved he was the next great Bulldogs QB. His pocket presence, anticipation throws, and command of the offense made him a top-5 pick in the 2025 draft. The Georgia pipeline of NFL talent continues with Beck as its latest and most high-profile export. Jacksonville, TX native who became an SEC icon.
2025 Panini Prizm Tyler Shough RC #340
Prizm RC. Shough was the Saints' 40th overall pick in 2025 — the oldest QB ever drafted at 26. After stops at Oregon, Texas Tech, and Louisville, his 6-5/220 frame and 2024 ACC player-of-year year (3,195 yards / 23 TDs at 68% completion) earned the pre-draft rise. NO grooms him behind Carr.
2025 Panini Select Nick Emmanwori RC #235
Select RC. Emmanwori's positional versatility (box safety, slot, single-high) lets Mike Macdonald scheme him as a chess piece. Rare athlete profile with 2.5 sacks + 4 INTs as a senior. Irmo, SC native, played alongside Xavier Legette at South Carolina.
2025 Bowman University Aneesah Morrow #BU-14
Bowman University. Morrow was the 7th overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft — Chicago Sky took the hometown LSU star. 6-1 PF who posted 19.1 ppg / 13.8 rpg as an LSU senior. Holds the NCAA career double-doubles record (137 across DePaul + LSU). Chicago native, Simeon HS alum, LeBron James wears her story. Undersized but motor-maxed.
2025 Topps Pro Debut Jesus Made RC #1
Topps Pro Debut — the MiLB-licensed flagship set. Card #1 designation for Made signals Topps' own ranking of the prospect. Pro Debut RCs are the bridge between Bowman prospect cards and MLB rookies: affordable, widely-available, high-population. This is the collector entry point for fans wanting a Jesus Made card before the Bowman Chrome/Sterling premium kicks in. Minor League Baseball licensing shows Made in Timber Rattlers / Brewers affiliate uniform for authenticity.
2025 Panini Contenders WNBA Kiki Iriafen RC
Contenders WNBA RC. Iriafen is the prototype college-to-pro translator — established skill-set, elite motor, no major weakness. Transfer-portal stars (Stanford → USC) often carry the experience-stacking tag that WNBA front offices value over raw upside. Day-1 minutes + year-2 All-Star possible.
2025 Panini Prizm Tre Harris RC #378
Prizm RC. Harris was LA's 55th overall pick in 2025. 6-2/205 with 4.52 speed and a 39.5-inch vert. At Ole Miss he posted 60/1,030/8 as a junior despite a mid-season injury. Deep-threat X-receiver to pair with Ladd McConkey on Justin Herbert's offense. Louisiana Tech transfer.
2025-26 Panini Select Walter Clayton Jr. RC #162
Select RC. Clayton's March Madness run (30 on Texas Tech, 34 on Auburn in Final Four) cemented his NBA draft stock. A scoring guard whose shot-creation gravity opens up teammate looks. Fell to the late 1st/early 2nd in the 2025 draft despite the title run — age concerns.
2025-26 Panini Donruss Optic Derik Queen RC #185
Optic RC. Queen compares to Domantas Sabonis for his interior skill + passing vision, though with a rawer defensive motor. His rebounding instincts and soft touch around the rim translate to NBA minutes immediately. Ceiling = All-Star if the jumper extends to three.
2025 Panini Contenders WNBA Aneesah Morrow RC
Contenders WNBA RC. Morrow's career-long rebounding dominance (LSU + DePaul) signals durability of the one WNBA-translatable elite skill: boards. Even if she plays 20 min/night off the bench, 8-10 rpg is realistic. Hometown + LeBron co-sign + LSU pedigree = built-in hobby demand. Undervalued relative to draft slot.
Shedeur Sanders 2025 Bowman University #SS1
Bowman University card of the most marketable QB prospect since Trevor Lawrence. Sanders has 3M+ social media followers BEFORE being drafted. The brand is already built — the football just needs to match.
Travis Hunter 2025 Panini Contenders Draft #TH
Contenders ticket of the Heisman winner. 1,152 receiving yards + 4 INTs. Nobody has done this since the leather helmet era. Hunter will play both sides of the ball in the NFL — his cards are the #1 investment in the 2025 class.
Ashton Jeanty 2025 Panini Prizm Draft #5
2024 Heisman finalist who rushed for 2,601 yards — nearly broke Barry Sanders' all-time record. Boise State star who put the program on his back. 5'9" 215 lbs of pure explosion. First-round pick in 2025 draft.
Tetairoa McMillan 2025 Panini Prizm Draft #8
6'5" Arizona WR who led the Pac-12 in receiving. Consensus top-10 pick in the 2025 draft. Known as "T-Mac" — the best receiver prospect since Ja'Marr Chase. Hands, size, and route-running are all elite.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Abdul Carter #3
Penn State pass rusher who converted from LB to EDGE and became the most dominant defender in college football. 12 sacks, multiple forced fumbles, and a motor that never stops. Top-5 pick with All-Pro ceiling.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Cam Skattebo #155 Rookie Card
Prizm Draft RC. Skattebo ran for 1,568 yards and caught 46 passes for 607 yards at Arizona State. His combination of power, speed, and receiving ability makes him a true 3-down back.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Riley Leonard #101 Rookie Card
Prizm Draft RC. Leonard transferred from Duke to Notre Dame and led the Irish to the CFP Championship game. A dual-threat QB with 16 rushing TDs and leadership that transformed a program.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Jalen Milroe #12
Prizm Draft card. Jalen Milroe was Nick Saban's final starting QB at Alabama and then started for Kalen DeBoer. His dual-threat ability — 4.4 speed and a cannon arm — gives him Josh Allen upside if a team develops him.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Mykel Williams
Georgia edge rusher projected in the top 10 of the 2025 NFL Draft. Williams combines 6-foot-5, 265-pound size with explosive first-step quickness. His versatility to play inside and outside makes him a defensive coordinator dream.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft James Pearce Jr
Tennessee edge rusher with the best first step in the 2025 draft class. Pearce recorded 10 sacks in 2024 and is compared to Will Anderson Jr for his relentless motor and bend around the edge. A top-10 lock.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Malaki Starks
The best safety in the 2025 draft class. Starks started from day one at Georgia as a true freshman and was the heartbeat of back-to-back championship defenses. Elite ball skills, sure tackler, and a natural leader. Projected top 15.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Will Johnson RC
Prizm Draft base for the top CB in the 2025 class. Johnson allowed the fewest yards per coverage snap among all Power 5 corners in 2024. His combination of coverage ability and run support makes him a complete defensive back prospect.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft James Pearce Jr. RC
Prizm base for the most athletic pass rusher in the 2025 class. Pearce ran a 4.47 forty at the Combine at 243 pounds — freakish for an EDGE. Pass rushers who go top-10 historically have the strongest card markets among defensive players.
Shedeur Sanders 2025 Bowman University #SS1
Bowman University card. Sanders led Colorado to a bowl game and transformed the program. His father Deion is the biggest celebrity in college football — Shedeur cards carry cross-sport cultural cachet rare for a rookie QB.
Jalen Milroe 2025 Panini Prizm Draft #6
Alabama dual-threat QB. 3,164 passing yards, 726 rushing yards, 39 total TDs in 2024. Built like Cam Newton at 6'2" 225 lbs with Lamar Jackson speed. The most electric QB in the 2025 class.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Picks Tre Johnson RC
Prizm Draft RC. Tre Johnson is the most explosive scorer in the 2025 draft class. The Texas Longhorns shooting guard has an elite mid-range game and can score from all three levels. Projected top-5 pick.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Picks Nolan Traore RC
Prizm Draft RC. Nolan Traore is the most athletic point guard in the 2025 draft. The French prodigy played professionally in France's top league as a teenager. Explosive first step and elite court vision.
2025 Panini Select Tyler Shough RC #215
Select RC. Shough's age (26 as a rookie) is a red flag for some hobbyists, but his veteran polish and command of pro concepts make him a higher-floor QB than most rookies. Chesapeake, OR product. Transfer-portal journeyman finally finding stability in a QB-needy NFL org.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Kasparas Jakucionis RC #82
Prizm Draft RC. As a projected lottery pick, Jakucionis international background adds collecting appeal — European and Lithuanian collectors drive up demand for their countrymen in the NBA. His combination of size, skill, and vision at the guard position is exactly what modern NBA offenses need. Illinois first lottery pick in years validates the program resurgence under Brad Underwood.
2025 Panini Optic Nick Emmanwori RC #185
Optic RC. Seattle paired Emmanwori with Julian Love to form a rangy, athletic safety duo. His Kam Chancellor-comp physical profile fits the franchise's defensive identity. Day-one starter at FS. Hobby has him pegged as a 2025 DROY sleeper.
2025 Panini Select Tre Harris RC #248
Select RC. Harris' contested-catch ability (17.2 yards/catch career) fits perfectly with Herbert's arm strength. Ole Miss produced WR1-type NFL talent (D.K. Metcalf, A.J. Brown, Elijah Moore) and Harris extends the lineage. Jim Harbaugh's offense trusted him with early targets.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Picks Ahmed Hassanein
Panini Prizm Draft Picks. MWC pass-rusher with speed-to-power profile — 10.5-sack senior projection puts him on the Day 2 / Day 3 bubble at the 2026 NFL Draft. International-origin hobby narrative taps the growing Middle East + North Africa collector base, an emerging demand vector US pricing guides under-index. Prizm DP at $70 PSA 10 is a speculative-entry hobby tier.
2025 Bowman University Chrome Carson Beck RC #61
Bowman University Chrome RC. Beck threw for over 3,900 yards and 28 TDs at Georgia, leading the Dawgs to the SEC Championship. His poise under pressure, accuracy on intermediate routes, and ability to read defenses pre-snap project him as a Day 1 NFL starter. The Georgia QB factory is real — and Beck is the crown jewel.
2025 Panini Prizm Dylan Sampson RC #395
Prizm RC. Sampson was Cleveland's 126th pick in 2025. 5-8/200 compact RB who posted 1,491 rushing yards and 22 TDs as a Tennessee senior in 2024 — SEC Offensive POY. Slippery runner with elite contact balance. Baton Rouge, LA native, replaces Nick Chubb workload share.
2025 Panini Contenders Draft Ace Bailey #AB
Contenders ticket. Bailey and Dylan Harper formed the best freshman duo in college basketball at Rutgers. His defensive potential at 6'10" with a 7'2" wingspan makes him a two-way franchise cornerstone.
2025 Bowman University Dylan Harper #DH1
Bowman University card. Harper's mid-range game is polished beyond his years — he hits pull-up jumpers, step-backs, and floaters with ease. The Rutgers to NBA pipeline is real thanks to Harper and Bailey.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Mason Graham #4
Michigan DT who anchored back-to-back national championship-caliber defenses. Graham is a top-3 pick — the best interior defensive lineman prospect since Ndamukong Suh. Explosive first step and relentless motor.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Tyler Warren #18
The most versatile tight end prospect in years. Warren caught 100+ passes at Penn State and also lined up at QB, RB, and WR. His receiving ability is elite — think Travis Kelce with even more positional flexibility.
2025 Bowman University VJ Edgecombe #VE1
Bowman University card. VJ Edgecombe is the most explosive athlete in the 2025 draft class. The Bahamian guard's combination of speed, vertical leap, and finishing ability at the rim is elite. Projected lottery pick from Baylor.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Will Campbell
The consensus top offensive tackle in the 2025 NFL Draft. Campbell dominated SEC pass rushers at LSU with elite technique and rare athleticism for his size. Projects as a day-one starter and franchise left tackle.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Jalon Walker
Georgia linebacker-edge hybrid who is the most versatile defender in the 2025 draft. Walker can rush the passer, cover tight ends, and stop the run. His 8.5 sacks as an off-ball LB in 2024 were absurd.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Nic Scourton
Transfer portal gem who went from Purdue to Texas A&M and became one of the best pass rushers in college football. Scourton has 6-foot-4, 280-pound frame with 4.6 speed — rare combination of size and athleticism off the edge.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Benjamin Morrison
Notre Dame cornerback who is the best cover corner in the 2025 draft class. Morrison had 12 interceptions in three seasons and was targeted at the lowest rate of any CB in the FBS. Shutdown corners rarely come this polished.
2025 Bowman University Will Johnson RC
Elite shutdown corner from Michigan who was the best defensive player on back-to-back College Football Playoff teams. Johnson has elite ball skills, long arms, and the physicality NFL teams covet. Projected top-10 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
2025 Bowman University James Pearce Jr. RC
Explosive edge rusher from Tennessee with an elite first step and bend around the corner. Pearce had 7.5 sacks as a sophomore before declaring for the 2025 NFL Draft. His burst off the line is Myles Garrett-esque.
Tyler Warren 2025 Panini Prizm Draft #12
2024 Mackey Award winner — best TE in college football. Penn State star with 104 catches, 1,233 yards, and 8 TDs. 6'6" 260 lbs with WR route-running ability. The best TE prospect since Kyle Pitts.
Luther Burden III 2025 Panini Prizm Draft #15
Missouri's dynamic playmaker. 5-star recruit who lived up to the hype — 86 catches, 1,212 yards, 12 TDs in 2024. Electric after the catch with punt return ability. Projected late first round.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Picks Kon Knueppel RC
Prizm Draft RC. Kon Knueppel is the best pure shooter in the 2025 draft class. The Duke wing combines a lethal 3-point stroke with high basketball IQ and solid playmaking. Think Klay Thompson meets Kyle Korver.
2025 Topps Chrome Trey Sweeney RC #188
Chrome RC. The Yankees haven't developed a homegrown everyday shortstop since Derek Jeter. Sweeney isn't Jeter — nobody is — but a left-handed bat at short in pinstripes writes its own story. Chrome is the premium play.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Garrett Nussmeier RC #101
Draft Prizm RC. Nussmeier was the gunslinger QB at LSU who stepped out of Joe Burrow's shadow. A true pocket passer with a cannon arm, he threw for 4,000+ yards and 29 TDs in his breakout 2024 season. NFL teams love his arm talent and confidence.
2025 Panini Prizm Quinn Ewers RC #305
Prizm RC. Ewers was the number-one overall recruit in the country out of Southlake Carroll in Texas — the most famous high school football program in the state. He reclassified to skip his senior year, enrolled at Ohio State, transferred to Texas, and became the face of Longhorn football in the SEC era. His arm talent and poise are elite.
2025 Panini Optic Tyler Shough RC #160
Optic RC. Shough's arm talent and NFL-body frame are unquestioned — the only concern was durability (multiple college injuries). If he stays healthy, the Saints have a 4-year starter at a 2nd-round price. Hobby is cautiously optimistic given NO's QB desperation.
2025-26 Panini Donruss Optic Walter Clayton Jr. RC #205
Optic RC. Clayton's NBA projection: high-end backup combo guard, with game-manager PG upside if the handle tightens. His title-game performance gives the RC permanent hobby weight — title-winning MOP cards retain value even if the pro career is a role. See Donte DiVincenzo (2018).
2025 Bowman Chrome Cristhian Vaquero #BCP-35
Third-year Bowman Chrome — "final Bowman" for Vaquero before potential MLB promotion. 2025 saw Vaquero at AA Harrisburg, the level where tool projection converges with statistical reality. Refractor parallels (/299, /150, /99, /75, /50, /25, /10, /5, 1/1) remain the chase. Cuban-market collector interest adds an international demand layer most IFA prospects don't capture.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Pop Isaacs RC #95
Prizm Draft RC. Killeen, Texas is a military town near Fort Cavazos (formerly Fort Hood), and Isaacs represents the discipline and work ethic that community instills. His scoring explosions at Baylor — multiple 30-point games — put the basketball world on notice. The 2025 draft class is guard-heavy, and Isaacs shot-making ability separates him from the pack.
2025 Panini Optic Tre Harris RC #198
Optic RC. Harris' deep-threat dimension addresses the one hole in LA's 2024 offense — the Chargers lacked a true field-stretcher after Keenan Allen / Mike Williams departed. Early role expected as the Z-receiver in three-WR sets. Target-share breakout bet.
Shedeur Sanders 2025 Panini Contenders Draft #SS
Contenders draft ticket of Prime Time Jr. Deion Sanders said his son would be the #1 pick — and he might be right. Pocket passer with elite accuracy. Whether in Cleveland, Tennessee, or New York, Shedeur is appointment viewing.
Ashton Jeanty 2025 Bowman University #AJ1
Bowman University card of the best college RB since Reggie Bush. Jeanty averaged 7.7 yards per carry against FBS competition. Boise State rode him to the College Football Playoff. Pure workhorse.
Tetairoa McMillan 2025 Bowman University #TM1
Bowman University card. McMillan posted 84 catches for 1,319 yards and 8 TDs in 2024. His catch radius at 6'5" is absurd — contested catches are routine. The WR1 of the 2025 draft class.
2025 Bowman University Abdul Carter #AC1
Bowman University card. Carter's transition from off-ball linebacker to edge rusher was seamless — and terrifying for quarterbacks. His burst, bend, and power combination is elite. The best pure pass rusher in the 2025 class.
2025 Bowman University Football Cam Skattebo #88 Rookie Card
Bowman University RC. The JuCo transfer became Arizona State best player and a Heisman finalist. His 25 rushing TDs in 2024 made him the most productive back in college football.
2025 Bowman University Football Riley Leonard #45 Rookie Card
Bowman University RC. Leonard threw for 2,606 yards and rushed for 866 at Notre Dame. His toughness, mobility, and big-game experience (CFP semis and championship) make him a pro-ready signal-caller.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Jaxon Dart #18
Prizm Draft card. Jaxon Dart threw for 4,279 yards and 29 TDs in Lane Kiffin's high-powered Ole Miss offense. The USC transfer's gunslinger mentality and arm talent have him as a Day 2 QB prospect in 2025.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Dillon Gabriel #20
Prizm Draft card. Dillon Gabriel holds the record for most starts by a college QB — 62 games across UCF, Oklahoma, and Oregon. The Hawaiian led the Ducks to the College Football Playoff and threw for 3,857 yards with 28 TDs in 2024.
2025 Bowman University Mykel Williams #115
The anchor of Georgia back-to-back national championship defenses. Williams recorded 7.5 sacks and 12 TFL in 2024. His bull rush is the best in the draft class — offensive tackles get pushed into the quarterback lap.
2025 Bowman University James Pearce Jr #110
The speed rusher every team wants. Pearce ran a sub-4.5 forty at the combine while weighing 243 pounds. His hip flexibility and ability to corner are elite — he consistently wins the edge against top tackles.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Emeka Egbuka
Ohio State WR who was the #1 recruit in the nation coming out of high school. Egbuka is the complete receiver — elite route runner, strong hands, and a 4.4 forty. He played opposite Marvin Harrison Jr and still put up big numbers.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Kenneth Grant
Michigan nose tackle who anchored the 2023 national championship defense. Grant is 6-foot-3, 339 pounds and moves like a man 50 pounds lighter. He collapses the pocket and eats double teams, freeing up the edge rushers.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Kelvin Banks Jr
Texas left tackle who started as a true freshman in the SEC. Banks is 6-foot-4, 324 pounds with elite mirror ability and anchor. He allowed just 2 sacks in 3 years — the best pass protection rate in the country.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Nic Scourton
Transferred from Purdue to Texas A&M and dominated the SEC immediately. Scourton is 6-foot-4, 280 pounds with rare power-speed combination. His 9 sacks in 2024 against SEC competition proved the Big Ten numbers were real.
2025 Bowman University Malaki Starks #130
Three-year starter at Georgia who never missed a game. Starks had 8 interceptions across his college career and was a two-time All-SEC selection. His range and instincts remind scouts of a young Tyrann Mathieu.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Josh Simmons
Ohio State left tackle who was the highest-graded pass protector in college football before a knee injury ended his 2024 season early. When healthy, Simmons has the best feet and hand placement of any tackle in the class.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Derrick Harmon
Oregon defensive tackle who was the most disruptive interior defender in the Pac-12 and Big Ten. Harmon combines 6-foot-5, 310-pound size with surprising quickness. He collapses the pocket from the inside — a quarterback nightmare.
2025 Panini Contenders Draft Will Johnson RC
Contenders ticket for Michigan product who was a three-year starter in the Big Ten. Johnson shut down every top receiver he faced in college. If he goes top-5, these pre-draft cards will look cheap.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Kelvin Banks Jr. RC
Prizm base for the top OT prospect. Banks allowed just 2 sacks in 3 seasons at Texas — elite pass protection. Offensive lineman cards rarely pop, but franchise left tackles who go top-10 become scarce in PSA 10.
2025 Panini Contenders Draft James Pearce Jr. RC
Contenders ticket for the Tennessee EDGE. Pearce is a raw athlete who improved dramatically each season. The kind of player whose cards spike on draft night and again after his first multi-sack game.
Shedeur Sanders 2025 Panini Contenders Draft #SS
Contenders ticket. The Sanders brand is unmatched in football. Shedeur has the arm talent, the work ethic, and the platform. Whether he lands in Cleveland, New York, or Tennessee, his cards will have massive retail appeal.
Mason Graham 2025 Panini Prizm Draft #4
Michigan defensive tackle, projected top-5 pick. Consensus All-American who anchored the Wolverines national championship defense. 6'3" 318 lbs with rare explosiveness off the snap. The best interior D-line prospect since Quinnen Williams.
Will Johnson 2025 Panini Prizm Draft #10
Michigan lockdown corner, projected top-10 pick. 6'2" with elite ball skills — 4 INTs and 12 PBU in 2024. Named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year. The best CB prospect since Sauce Gardner.
Jalon Walker 2025 Panini Prizm Draft #18
Georgia LB/EDGE hybrid. 12 sacks in 2024 while playing multiple positions. Kirby Smart called him the most versatile defender he has ever coached. Projected first round — the new prototype for NFL defense.
Jalen Milroe 2025 Bowman University #JM1
Bowman University card. Milroe started under Nick Saban and finished under Kalen DeBoer. His growth from inconsistent to commanding was the story of Alabama's 2024 season. Running QBs sell cards — ask Lamar Jackson collectors.
2025 Bowman University Tre Johnson
Bowman University card. Johnson averaged 20+ PPG as a freshman at Texas, showing the kind of scoring versatility NBA teams covet. His pull-up jumper is already NBA-ready.
2025 Bowman University Nolan Traore
Bowman University card. Traore is part of France's golden generation of basketball talent. At just 18, he was already competing against grown men in the LNB Pro A. His upside is immense.
2025 Panini Prizm TreVeyon Henderson RC #335
Prizm RC. Henderson was a 5-star recruit from Hopewell, Virginia who became one of the most explosive backs in Ohio State history. His 4.3 speed and breakaway ability make him a dynamic NFL weapon. OSU running backs have had mixed NFL success, but Henderson talent is undeniable.
2025 Panini Prizm Drew Allar RC #310
Prizm RC. Allar is a prototypical pocket passer out of Penn State — 6-5, 240 pounds with a cannon arm. From Medina, Ohio, he was one of the top QB recruits in his class and started from his sophomore year at Penn State. The Nittany Lions QB tradition (Kerry Collins, Todd Blackledge) has an NFL pedigree.
2025 Panini Prizm Jaxson Dart RC #315
Prizm RC. Dart is a gunslinger from Draper, Utah who transferred from USC to Ole Miss and became a star under Lane Kiffin. His arm talent, mobility, and willingness to take risks downfield make him one of the most exciting QBs in the 2025 class. The transfer portal success story is the modern college football narrative.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Cade Klubnik RC #112
Prizm Draft RC. Klubnik transferred from Texas to Clemson and immediately became the Tigers franchise quarterback. The Austin, TX native threw for 3,600+ yards with exceptional accuracy and added 400+ rushing yards. His dual-threat ability and poise in the pocket made him a mid-first-round projection in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Clemson quarterback pipeline includes Trevor Lawrence and Deshaun Watson — Klubnik aims to join that elite company.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Kam Jones RC #88
Prizm Draft RC. Jones scoring ability from all three levels — floaters, mid-range, deep threes — gives him the offensive toolkit NBA teams covet. His improvement from freshman to senior was dramatic, becoming the undisputed alpha of a top-15 Marquette program. Chicago guards in the NBA carry cultural weight, and Jones competitive fire fits that mold perfectly.
2025 Panini Select Dylan Sampson RC #275
Select RC. Sampson's 22 rushing TDs at Tennessee in 2024 tied the single-season SEC record set by Derrick Henry. Heavy-workload profile translates to NFL opportunity. The Browns needed RB youth after Chubb's decline — Sampson fits the bill at a day-three price.
2025 Panini Prizm Kaleb Johnson RC #345
Prizm RC. Johnson dominated the Big Ten at Iowa — a physical, powerful runner from Hamilton, Ohio who led the conference in rushing. Iowa has produced NFL backs before (Shonn Greene, Mark Ingram transfer), but Johnson combination of size and speed at 6-1 220 is special.
2025 Donruss Optic Quinn Ewers RC #245
Optic RC. Southlake Carroll to Ohio State to Texas — the most followed recruiting journey in a generation. Ewers Texas pedigree and the Longhorns brand give his cards a built-in collector base. Texas QBs in the NFL carry a premium that few college programs can match.
2025 Panini Prizm Cam Skattebo RC #350
Prizm RC. Skattebo is a wrecking ball from Sacramento, California who became the most exciting player in college football at Arizona State. His combination of power running, receiving ability, and even throwing passes on trick plays makes him the ultimate all-purpose weapon. He single-handedly dragged ASU to the College Football Playoff.
Ashton Jeanty 2025 Panini Contenders Draft #AJ
Contenders draft ticket. RBs are devalued in the NFL draft, but Jeanty is different — the type of generational back that transcends positional value. Think Saquon Barkley ceiling.
Tetairoa McMillan 2025 Panini Contenders Draft #TM
Contenders ticket. Samoan heritage, California raised. McMillan is the rare big WR who is also smooth. Think Mike Evans but faster. Whichever team drafts him gets a decade-long WR1.
2025 Panini Contenders Draft Dylan Harper #DH
Contenders ticket. Harper is a lead playmaker who can run an offense or play off the ball. His father Ron won five NBA championships — the basketball DNA is generational. Top-5 pick who will contribute from day one.
2025 Panini Contenders Draft Abdul Carter #AC
Contenders ticket. Carter was a 5-star recruit who played LB as a freshman and sophomore before making the switch. His versatility to drop into coverage AND rush the passer is Micah Parsons-like. Franchise-altering defender.
2025 Bowman University Mason Graham #MG1

2025 Bowman University Tyler Warren #TW1
Bowman University card. Warren had one of the most dominant seasons ever by a college TE — over 1,000 receiving yards and 10+ TDs. His ability to create mismatches is what every NFL offense wants at tight end.
2025 Bowman University Jalen Milroe #JM1
Bowman University card. The Katy, Texas product rushed for 20 touchdowns in 2023 — from the QB position. His running ability is Lamar Jackson-level, and his arm strength improved dramatically under DeBoer's system.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Luther Burden III #125 RC
Prizm Draft RC. Burden was the #1 WR recruit in 2022 and delivered at Missouri — 3 straight 700+ yard seasons, 29 TDs in 3 years. Electric after the catch with punt return ability. A true alpha WR prospect.
2025 Bowman University Will Campbell #120
Three-year starter at LSU who allowed just 3 sacks across his college career. Campbell is the prototype modern tackle — 6-foot-6, 323 pounds with guard-level power and tackle-level feet.
2025 Panini Contenders Draft Mykel Williams
Contenders ticket. Five-star recruit who lived up to the hype at Georgia. Williams can play 3-technique, 5-technique, or stand up — teams love the versatility. His 2025 combine performance should confirm the athleticism.
2025 Panini Contenders Draft James Pearce Jr
Contenders ticket. Pearce is the type of pass rusher who changes games. His strip-sack rate was the highest in the SEC in 2024. Whoever drafts him gets an instant impact edge defender.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Tyler Booker
Alabama guard who is the most physically dominant interior OL in the 2025 draft. Booker is 6-foot-5, 325 pounds and absolutely mauls defenders in the run game. His combination of size, power, and nastiness is rare.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Trey Amos
Ole Miss cornerback who transferred from Wisconsin and became the best cover corner in the SEC. Amos allowed just a 38% completion rate when targeted in 2024. His length at 6-foot-1 and physical press technique project perfectly to the NFL.
2025 Bowman University Kelvin Banks Jr. RC
Three-year starting left tackle at Texas who protected Quinn Ewers through two College Football Playoff runs. Banks is a technically sound blocker with elite footwork and 34-inch arms. Projected as the first offensive lineman off the board in 2025.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Tyleik Williams RC
Prizm base for the Ohio State DT. Williams registered 12 TFLs as a senior — elite production from the interior. Defensive tackles rarely become hobby darlings, but the rare ones who do (Aaron Donald, Chris Jones) command premium prices.
Tyler Warren 2025 Bowman University #TW1
Bowman University card. Warren led all FBS tight ends in receptions and receiving yards in 2024. He literally played quarterback, running back, and TE in the same game at Penn State. The ultimate football player.
Luther Burden III 2025 Bowman University #LB1
Bowman University card. Burden was a consensus #1 WR recruit who chose Mizzou over everyone. At 5'11" 210 lbs he plays bigger than his size — physical after the catch, fearless over the middle.
Jalen Milroe 2025 Panini Contenders Draft #JM
Contenders ticket. Alabama QBs have NFL pedigree (Tua, Mac Jones, Hurts). Milroe is the most physically gifted of all of them. His rushing ability makes him a fantasy football weapon from year one. Cards spike on draft night.
Kelvin Banks Jr. 2025 Panini Prizm Draft #20
Texas All-American left tackle. 3-year starter who allowed zero sacks in 2024. 6'4" 324 lbs with perfect technique and NFL-ready footwork. The safest OL pick in the 2025 draft.
2025 Bowman University Kon Knueppel

2025 Panini Prizm Draft Hagen Smith RC #25
Prizm Draft of the Arkansas fireballer. Smith put Arkansas back on the map as a pitching factory after the program produced names like Dave Van Horn, Kevin Kopps, and Heston Kjerstad.

Bowman University RC in LSU purple and gold. Nussmeier waited patiently behind Jayden Daniels, then exploded when given the starting job. His father Kurt was a college coach, giving Garrett a football IQ beyond his years. The arm talent is electric.

2025-26 Panini Prizm Johni Broome RC #280

The combination of lottery projection and international fanbase makes his rookie cards premium picks.
2025 Bowman University Jalon Walker #125

2025 Panini Contenders Draft Malaki Starks

2025 Bowman University Benjamin Morrison #140
Led Notre Dame to the national championship game in 2024. Morrison is a technician — his footwork, hip fluidity, and ball tracking are elite. The kind of corner teams can leave on an island against any receiver.
Mason Graham 2025 Bowman University #MG1
Bowman University card. Graham was the best player on the best defense in college football in 2023. DTs rarely go top-5, but Graham is that disruptive — double-teamed on 70%+ of plays and still dominant.

2025 Panini Select Quinn Ewers RC #165
Select RC. The number-one recruit reclassification to Ohio State, NIL saga, and transfer to Texas — Ewers has been in the spotlight since he was 16 years old. That exposure means his cards had a collector base before he was even drafted. Texas football is a brand unto itself.
2025 Donruss Optic Drew Allar RC #250
Optic RC. Medina, Ohio is about 30 miles south of Cleveland — Allar grew up watching Browns football. His arm strength and size profile are exactly what NFL scouts look for in a franchise QB. Penn State QBs have been steady NFL starters historically.
2025 Donruss Optic Jaxson Dart RC #260
Optic RC. Draper, Utah to USC to Ole Miss — Dart took the scenic route but it worked. Lane Kiffin air-raid offense was the perfect fit for his talents. Utah producing NFL QBs is rare (Steve Young from BYU excepted), making Dart unique origin story.
2025 Bowman University Chrome Cade Klubnik RC #68
Bowman University Chrome RC. The Texas-to-Clemson transfer was a bet on himself that paid off massively. Klubnik went from backup behind Quinn Ewers to Clemson starter and ACC star. His strong arm, mobility, and competitive fire remind evaluators of a young Josh Allen — raw tools with elite upside that could make him a franchise quarterback.
2025 Panini Optic Dylan Sampson RC #215
Optic RC. Sampson is the sleeper RB of the 2025 class. Day-three rookies who post 1,400+ yards and 22 TDs against SEC defense rarely slide without off-field concerns, and Sampson has none. Pure size-deficit drop. Reminder: Kareem Hunt and Austin Ekeler were both day-three RBs.
2025 Contenders Draft Cam Skattebo #125 Rookie Card
Contenders Draft RC. Skattebo is projected as a Day 2 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. His film shows a violent runner who also catches passes out of the backfield like a receiver.

2025 Panini Prizm Draft VJ Edgecombe #15
Prizm Draft card. The Nassau, Bahamas native was a 5-star recruit who chose Baylor over Duke and Kentucky. His athleticism is freakish — routinely dunking over 7-footers. If the jumper develops, he has superstar ceiling.
2025 Panini Prizm Draft Colston Loveland #140 RC
Prizm Draft RC. The Michigan TE is the best pass-catching tight end prospect since Kyle Pitts. At 6'5" 245, Loveland is a mismatch weapon who also blocks well enough to play on early downs. National championship game starter.

2025 Bowman University Kenneth Grant #130
The immovable object. Grant had the lowest rushing yards allowed per snap of any interior DL in the Big Ten. Teams cannot run at him, and his push up the middle disrupts timing throws.
2025 Bowman University Kelvin Banks Jr #135
Three-year starter who protected Quinn Ewers blindside. Banks combination of length, footwork, and competitiveness makes him an immediate NFL starter. Texas has a rich OL tradition and Banks is the best since Connor Williams.
2025 Bowman University Nic Scourton #140
Led Purdue in sacks in 2023, then transferred to the SEC and did it again at Texas A&M. Scourton is a violent hand-fighter who wins with technique and relentless effort. Projects as a 3-4 DE or 4-3 strong-side end.
2025 Bowman University Josh Simmons #145
San Jose State transfer who became Ohio State starter and immediately dominated Big Ten pass rushers. Simmons has a 6-foot-5, 310-pound frame with rare lateral agility. His medical evaluation will determine his draft position.
2025 Bowman University Derrick Harmon #150
Michigan State transfer who became an All-American at Oregon. Harmon recorded 6 sacks from the interior in 2024 — rare production for a nose tackle. His pass rush ability from the DT spot makes him a scheme-versatile weapon.
2025 Panini Contenders Draft Kelvin Banks Jr. RC
Contenders ticket for the Texas blindside protector. Banks was a consensus All-American in 2024. If he becomes a perennial Pro Bowl tackle, the pre-draft RC market will dry up fast.
2025 Bowman University Tyleik Williams RC
Interior disruption machine from Ohio State. Williams played alongside multiple first-rounders and still commanded double teams. At 6-3, 304 pounds, he has the size and quickness to play multiple techniques in the NFL.

2025 Topps Trey Sweeney RC #525
Flagship RC. Left-handed hitting shortstops are rare in any era. The Yankee Stadium short porch in right field is tailor-made for his swing. Pinstripes carry a premium that can push even modest careers into collector relevance.
2025 Topps Robby Snelling RC #465
Flagship RC. Left-handed pitchers with swing-and-miss stuff are gold in the hobby. Snelling's curveball is his calling card — elite spin rate and sharp break. Atlanta + lefty + curves = recipe for a long career.
2025 Topps Emerson Hancock RC #442
Flagship RC. Top-6 overall picks who stick in the majors become cornerstone hobby cards. Hancock's Georgia pedigree and Seattle's pitching factory make this a compelling long-term hold. The Mariners' rotation depth is becoming historically good.
2025 Panini Select TreVeyon Henderson RC #195
Select RC. The Ohio State to NFL pipeline for skill players is among the best. Henderson fits the modern NFL perfectly — a three-down back who can run between the tackles and catch out of the backfield. Virginia producing elite NFL talent is a growing trend.

2025 Panini Select Drew Allar RC #170

Bowman University RC. Howard's journey from Kansas State transfer to Ohio State national champion to the Kansas City Chiefs is one of the best QB stories in recent memory.
2025 Panini Contenders Draft Emeka Egbuka

2025 Panini Contenders Draft Jalon Walker
Contenders ticket. The modern NFL values defensive versatility above all — Walker embodies that. He can play SAM, WILL, or move to edge on passing downs. Think a faster version of Roquan Smith with pass rush upside.

Will Johnson 2025 Panini Contenders Draft #WJ
Contenders ticket. CB cards are undervalued in the hobby — Sauce Gardner Prizm PSA 10s tripled in his first year. Johnson has similar shutdown ability with more length. Draft capital determines the ceiling.
Jalon Walker 2025 Panini Contenders Draft #JW
Contenders ticket. Defensive versatility is the most valuable trait in modern football. Walker can line up at 4 different positions on any given snap. That flexibility makes him a top-20 lock.

2025 Panini Select Kaleb Johnson RC #205
Select RC. Iowa running backs in Kirk Ferentz system are always NFL-ready — they learn patience, blocking, and receiving. Johnson adds home-run speed to that foundation. Ohio producing NFL running backs is a tradition (Beanie Wells, J.K. Dobbins from other schools, now Johnson from Hamilton).

2025 Contenders Draft Josaiah Stewart RC #120
Contenders Draft of the edge rushing prospect. What makes Stewart special is his non-stop motor combined with a developing pass rush repertoire. He has speed-to-power conversion, a nasty spin move, and the effort that coaches dream about. The Coastal-to-Michigan pipeline he established may inspire future transfers.
