PATRICK MAHOMES’ WORN JERSEY SELLS FOR OVER $200,000 AT AUCTION
A Patrick Mahomes-worn Kansas City Chiefs jersey has become the most expensive piece of memorabilia sold by the quarterback to date. The jersey, worn by Mahomes during a Week 5 matchup against the Raiders in the 2022-23 season, was auctioned off for an impressive $213,500.
Despite the ongoing debate about whether Mahomes is the greatest of all time (GOAT), there is no denying the demand for his memorabilia. Several bidders vied for the opportunity to own this piece of history, ultimately resulting in a significant price tag.
During the game against the Raiders, Mahomes showcased his skills by throwing for 292 yards and four touchdowns, leading the Chiefs to a narrow 30-29 victory. This win was a stepping stone towards their Super Bowl triumph over the Philadelphia Eagles that season.
The auction took place on Saturday, coinciding with the Kansas City Chiefs’ AFC Championship Game against the Ravens. Mahomes and his team emerged victorious with a 17-10 win, setting the stage for their upcoming Super Bowl LVIII clash against the San Francisco 49ers.
With a potential third Super Bowl win in four years, Mahomes aims to solidify his claim for the title of the Greatest of All Time. Given the lack of competition he faces within the NFL, it is uncertain how many more trophies he will add to his collection throughout his career. This makes Mahomes-worn jerseys a promising investment, especially with each Super Bowl victory.
While Mahomes’ memorabilia continues to command high prices, he still has a long way to go to surpass the sales of jerseys worn by past football legends. For instance, former quarterbacks Joe Montana, who played for both the 49ers and the Chiefs, auctioned off a Super Bowl jersey that sold for an astounding $1.212 million.
As Mahomes prepares for the upcoming Super Bowl, fans and collectors alike eagerly await the opportunity to own a piece of his legacy. How much would you be willing to pay for a Mahomes jersey? Share your thoughts with us at alejandro.avila@jan 21, 2024.
