Jalen Hurts' rise to prominence with the Philadelphia Eagles has significantly boosted the value and demand for his rookie cards. After an impressive college career at the University of Alabama and the University of Oklahoma, Hurts was selected in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft by the Eagles. Initially overshadowed by a strong rookie quarterback class, Hurts quickly made a name for himself, becoming the Eagles' full-time starter by 2021 and leading them to a 14-1 record and a Super Bowl appearance in 2022.

Collectors have shown great interest in Hurts' earliest licensed cards, available across various 2020 football card products. Panini, holding exclusive licenses for both NFL and NCAA cards for 2020, offers some of the top Jalen Hurts cards on the market.

Notable among these is the 2020 Donruss Optic Rated Rookie Jalen Hurts RC #164, a chromium card that's a go-to for many collectors. Its base version is widely accessible, while the parallels provide more exclusivity and value. Another Optic standout is the Downtown Jalen Hurts #DT-34, known for its rarity and unique imagery.

The Kaboom card from 2020 Panini Absolute NFL is another significant rookie insert, featuring two versions, one with Hurts throwing and the other running. The 2020 Panini Mosaic Jalen Hurts RC #22 is also popular, offering a base version and several parallels, including a collegiate image variation.

The 2020 Panini Prizm Jalen Hurts RC #343 is among the most sought-after, with its base Prizm being plentiful but its black-and-white image variation and parallels drawing higher values. In 2020 Panini Select NFL, Hurts has four base set cards, each with its own set of parallels that are highly sought after.

An early card of Hurts is found in the 2019 Panini Select 2020 XRC Rookie Redemption #305, a limited redemption card from the XRC set. For those interested in autographs, there are numerous options like the 2020 Donruss Optic Rated Rookie Signatures #164 and the highly coveted Rookie Ticket Autograph from 2020 Panini Contenders NFL. The Contenders Optic NFL version offers a chromium style, while the Immaculate Collection and National Treasures NFL provide elite autograph patch cards.

As Hurts' career continues to ascend, these rookie cards are becoming a must-have for collectors and fans, with each card offering a unique piece of the rising star's early NFL journey.
