Wild Card
Demand Level
Moderate. Demand is driven primarily by TCU fans and college football completionists. As a non-licensed product (no team logos), it appeals to a more niche market than Topps or Panini.
Valuation
Raw (Ungraded) Value
$60.00 - $125.00
Graded Value
PSA 9: $100.00-$150.00; PSA 10: $250.00+; PSA 8: $50.00-$70.00 (Grading non-licensed brands rarely yields high ROI unless it is a Gem Mint 10)
Comparable Sales
Recent sales for Josh Hoover Wild Card /5 parallels have reached $30-$50. Being a /3 variant, this carries a premium. Similar /1 or /3 Steampunk parallels for other QBs like Shedeur Sanders fetch $150+, but Hoover's market is currently slightly more conservative.
Description
This is a rare 2024 Wild Card Fantasy Football 'Steampunk' edition featuring TCU Quarterback Josh Hoover. The card features an intricate industrial aesthetic with gear and clockwork motifs and a rainbow foil finish that catches the light. This specific card is hand-numbered 3/3 in the bottom left corner, indicating its extreme scarcity. It comes in the original Wild Card factory-sealed magnetic holder with the black wax seal intact.
Key Features
Extremely low print run (1 of only 3 made); Josh Hoover is a high-upside collegiate QB; unique Steampunk design subset; factory-sealed security.
Authenticity Indicators
Factory-applied black 'Wild Card' security seal on the one-touch holder; authentic serial numbering style; high-quality holographic foil reflection consistent with Wild Card production standards. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Minor edge whitening is common on Wild Card thick-stock cards; however, this specimen appears exceptionally clean. Potential for surface micro-scratches underneath the factory seal which are common with foil finishes.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform due to the wide reach for player collectors. TCU Facebook fan groups or college football-specific card forums are also viable options.
Selling Tips
Do not break the factory seal; collectors of Wild Card products value the 'sealed' status highly. List as an 'Auction' starting on a Sunday evening to capitalize on weekend traffic, or 'Buy It Now' with a high price and 'Best Offer' enabled to gauge interest.
