On his way to his fourth Super Bowl at age 28, Patrick Mahomes’ star is rising at a meteoric pace.
The recent surge in prominence has been particularly noticeable in the sports memorabilia industry as a game worn Mahomes jersey from the 2022 season just broke records on Goldin. According to a source at the global platform used for buying and selling rare collectibles, Mahomes’ 2022 Week 5 home jersey — that was used while the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the division rival Las Vegas Raiders in a 30-29 thriller — has sold for $213,500.
That is the most expensive Mahomes jersey ever sold, and it ranks favorably among some of the all-time NFL jersey sales on Goldin.
Signed and inscribed Tom Brady game-used jerseys with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New England Patriots have sold for amounts of $480,000 and $420,000 — per Goldin — and Mahomes isn’t even close to retirement. One can only imagine what a Super Bowl jersey worn by the Chiefs superstar might garner at auction.
“Mahomes has been a real force of nature this season bringing the Chiefs to the Super Bowl for the fourth time by the age of 28. If the Chiefs secure this win, we could be looking at someone who might accomplish similar numbers to Tom Brady before he retires,” Ken Goldin, Founder and CEO of Goldin, told Heavy. “Not only are the Chiefs hot as a team, but memorabilia is skyrocketing and could soar even higher with a Super Bowl win.”
Per source, Goldin’s most expensive NFL jersey sale of all-time was a 1985, 1989 Joe Montana Game-Used, Photo-Matched San Francisco 49ers Red Jersey from Super Bowl XIX MVP, Super Bowl XXIII (“The Drive”), sold for $1.212 million.
Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes Threw for 4 Touchdowns & 117.6 Passer Rating in ‘I’m Here’ Game
Needless to say, this jersey was worn during a tremendous performance by Mahomes. In a battle with Derek Carr and the Raiders, the future 2022 MVP led his team back from a 17-0 deficit to take a 30-23 lead.
The game ended 30-29 after Las Vegas was stuffed on a two-point conversion, as well as a follow-up possession.
Of course, this outing is widely recognized as the “I’m here” game because of a viral interaction between Mahomes and Raiders pass rusher Maxx Crosby. This moment — and comeback — gained even more attention due to behind-the-scenes footage recorded by the Netflix docuseries: “Quarterback.” Barstool Sports shared a clip from said docuseries on X on July 12, 2023.

Not only did this exchange spark an unlikely resurgence over the Raiders, but it was also part of Mahomes’ second NFL Super Bowl title run as the QB led his team over the Philadelphia Eagles last February.
Mahomes finished the game with four touchdown passes and a passer rating of 117.6. His passing and rushing totals combined for over 300 scrimmage yards.
The offered jersey from this outing “features all numbering and lettering in tackle twill. An AFC Conference patch is embroidered on the jersey’s upper left chest, and an NFL Shield logo patch rests at the base of the jersey’s v-neck collar. The jersey contains evidence of excellent use, with staining and contact marks throughout” — per Goldin.
