The collection also includes a handful of Beckett, PSA and GMA graded cards. All of the cards are from 2017, which was when Mahomes was a rookie for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Robert DeArmitt Jr. and his wife, Heidi, are selling the cards and are huge Chiefs fans. They told TMZ Sports on Thursday they had a feeling the Texas Tech standout was going to be a great quarterback when he got into the league and they started buying up a bunch of Mahomes cards.
