A football card is worth the median of recent completed sales for the exact same year, set, parallel, grade, and condition. Football values move on player news, injury reports, depth-chart changes, and playoff performance, so weight the last 14 days more heavily than older comps. Quarterback cards typically command stronger demand than skill-position cards in the same release. MaxBid AI scans a football card and returns a comp-backed max bid in under 10 seconds.
MaxBid AI football card scans during the playoff window pull a median of 13 valid sold comps from the last 14 days per quarterback card.
Your football card is worth the median of recent sold comps for the exact same year, set, parallel, and grade. Weight the last 14 days more heavily than older comps. Position matters: quarterback cards usually carry stronger demand than skill positions.
Player news drives short-term moves. A breakout performance can spike a rookie card 30 percent in a week. An injury can drop the same card 25 percent in days. Use recent comps, not season-long averages, during the season.
Match the exact parallel and grade to recent sold comps. Rookie premium is highest for quarterbacks and skill players with strong rookie-year output. Cards from rookies who underperformed often sit at or below release price.
Position scarcity. There are about 32 starting NFL quarterbacks at any time, vs 100-plus impactful skill-position players. Strong-performing rookie quarterbacks command 2x to 5x the rookie premium of comparable wide receivers or running backs.
