In an astonishing turn of events that underscores his monumental impact both on and off the field, Patrick Mahomes’ game-worn jersey has just set a new benchmark in sports memorabilia auctions. The Kansas City Chiefs’ quarterback didn’t need to make a play to score big this time, as his jersey from a game in the 2022 season was sold for an eye-watering $213,500.
The No. 15 jersey, donned by Mahomes during a Week 5 clash against the Las Vegas Raiders at Arrowhead Stadium, was placed up for auction by Goldin. After a fervent bidding war consisting of 32 bids, the jersey was finally claimed by a new owner for a record-breaking sum.
This sale not only highlights the immense popularity of Mahomes but also sets a new record for the highest auction price ever fetched by a Mahomes jersey. The significance of this jersey is further amplified by its pristine condition, retaining the battle scars of stains and contact marks from the game where Mahomes led his team to victory with a stellar performance of 292 yards and four touchdowns.
Mahomes, a two-time NFL MVP, is on the verge of breaking more records. With the Super Bowl on the horizon in Las Vegas, he stands a chance to surpass Peyton Manning for the fifth-most touchdown passes in NFL postseason history by adding just two more TD passes to his tally.
Should he achieve this feat, Mahomes will find himself trailing only behind legends such as Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, Joe Montana, and Tom Brady in the postseason record books. This potential milestone further cements his status as a football icon whose memorabilia, like the recently auctioned jersey, will only continue to soar in value.
Congratulations are in order for the fortunate bidder who made a savvy investment in a piece of sports history, as Mahomes’ legacy and the value of his memorabilia continue to ascend.
