Football enthusiasts will find Patrick Mahomes well-represented with a 2017 Panini National Treasures Red NFL Shield 1/1 RPA graded BGS 9 and a Panini Prizm Gold rookie auto rated BGS 9.5, showcasing the three-time Super Bowl champion’s top cards.

The auction is also home to other Jordan memorabilia, including a 1984-85 Star Company XRC (BGS 8.5), a 1986-87 Fleer rookie card (BGS 9.5), a 1997 Finest Embossed Refractor #/74 (PSA 10), and a 2003-04 Topps Chrome Xfractor LeBron James rookie #/220 (BGS 9.5), further enriching the collection's diversity and appeal.
