2018 Donruss and Donruss Optic Rated Rookie Cards (Autograph and Various Parallels)
Everyone loves a Rated Rookie card.
Sam Darnold’s Optic Rared Rookie cards are a great looking card – as is any Rated Rookie to be honest.
And, like all Rated Rookie cards, there’s a bunch of different parallels out there that you can get your hands on – and they all range in price. Obviously, the base is the most affordable, and it goes up (and up…) from there.
The Donruss original (pictured) shows the big man without a helmet, in one of those “hey Sam, look mean and pretend like you’re going to throw a pass” poses. Whereas the Optic shows him in a helmet – hiding what I can only assume is an equally menacing facial expression.
The on-card auto parallels here are a beautiful card too.
2018 National Treasures Rookie Patch Autograph card #162
If you want something a little more high-ticket, then the National Treasures auto patch is the card for you.
I mean, did you look at it….
Damn, that’s a pretty card.
I also LOVE the green on the cards, maybe because not too many teams use green as a main color – so it’s not really on too many cards compared to more popular colors like blue and red.
Also, on a high-value rookie card set like National Treasures, green works too – has that look of wealth and high-value.
Anyway, this card has an on-card auto (nice), and an absolutely massive jersey patch on it too (double nice).
These National Treasures Sam Darnold rookie cards has a few different numbered parallels out there too, so there’s a lot of built-in scarcity.
Not to mention, National Treasures will hold value over time.
2018 Absolute Sam Darnold Rookie Cards Autograph Jersey Patch #151
I’m not one for a sticker auto, but this Sam Darnold rookie card isn’t a bad buy at all.
FYI: A sticker auto, is when the player signs a sticker, which is then attached to the cards – as opposed to signing the card itself.
It’s an affordable card too, which is a huge win, as some rookie cards can be outrageously priced.
And, probably the best part of this is that it’s a card that’s numbered to 100. So if you can find one, you know there’s built-in scarcity.
On a personal note, the triple patch is awesome too, so that’s a huge win. There’s also a cool 5-patch parallel that you can find out there too.
Whenever I see a five-patch parallel on eBay
This card will be the go-to low cost rookie patch card for Darnold throughout his career and long into his retirement.
