In the course of the second night time of Fanatics Fest 2025, with Washington Commanders quarterback and 2024 NFL Rookie of the 12 months Jayden Daniels and Commanders managing associate Josh Harris in tow, Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin requested a Commerce Evening crowd on Saturday who had Daniels’ most costly rookie card.
Josh Roth, who owned Daniels’ 1-of-1 numbered Black Finite Prizm card from 2024 Panini Prizm, had requested for $2 million — evaluating it to Pittsburgh Pirates‘ pitcher Paul Skenes‘ $1.1 million 2024 Topps Chrome Replace MLB debut patch autograph card. Roth relented, saying Reddit founder Alex Ohanian had put a $250,000 public bounty on the cardboard earlier than it was graded; with Beckett Grading Companies, the cardboard obtained a 9.5 on their out-of-10 scale.
Through Rubin — with an appraisal help from Fanatics Collectibles CEO Michael Mahan — Harris provided and purchased the cardboard for $500,000, essentially the most ever paid for a Daniels card, and a signed Daniels jersey.
Harris plans to show the cardboard in Northwest Stadium, the Commanders’ house.
In Daniels’ first NFL season, he led Washington to the NFC Championship recreation and received AP Offensive Rookie of the 12 months after throwing for 3,568 yards and 25 touchdowns.
