Brock Purdy Rookie Cards: Which to Buy and What They're Worth
From a $10,000 listing for his National Treasures rookie patch autograph to a $3.37 Mosaic rookie, here is how Brock Purdy's 2022 rookie class breaks down and which card fits your budget.
What is Brock Purdy's rookie card?
Brock Purdy's rookie cards all come from 2022, the year the San Francisco 49ers took him with the 262nd and final pick of the draft, the spot nicknamed "Mr. Irrelevant." Every major Panini set put out a Purdy rookie that year, so there is no single "the" rookie card. The most chased are the Prizm #353, the Donruss Optic Rated Rookie #277 and the signed cards: the Contenders Rookie Ticket autograph and the National Treasures rookie patch autograph.
- 2022 Panini Prizm #353: the flagship rookie. The Silver version is the one most collectors mean by "the" Purdy rookie.
- 2022 Donruss Optic Rated Rookie #277: the chrome-style cousin of Prizm, sold in many colours.
- 2022 Panini Mosaic #367: a colourful, low-priced rookie.
- 2022 Contenders Rookie Ticket Autograph: his best-known signed rookie.
- 2022 National Treasures Rookie Patch Autograph: the top-end rookie, numbered to 99.
Cards from later years, such as 2023 and 2024 Prizm or Chronicles, are not his rookie cards, even when a seller writes "RC" in the title. Check that the year is 2022.
The Silver Prizm: the card most people mean
The Silver Prizm is the shiny, reflective version of his Prizm #353 rookie card, and it is the benchmark Purdy rookie. On October 17, 2026, the lowest matching eBay listing for it was $999, versus $140 for the plain base Prizm. The gap is mostly about grade: high-graded Silvers are what collectors pay up for.

If a Silver feels like too much, the base Prizm #353 is the same card without the shine and was listed from $140 on the same day.

The Optic Rated Rookie is the easiest way in
It is a true 2022 Purdy rookie from a major set and was listed from $25 on October 17, 2026, a fraction of the Prizm Silver. It will not carry the same demand, so buy it because you want a Purdy rookie, not to flip.

The Silver Prizm is the pick if you want the famous one
It is the rookie most collectors look for first, and $999 on October 17, 2026 sits well below the signed cards. Grade drives the price, so check recent sold prices for the exact grade before you pay.

Graded or ungraded?
Raw (ungraded) copies are cheap, but Prizm and Optic cards show scratches and soft corners easily. Graded copies come sealed with a condition score from PSA, BGS or SGC, so you know what you are getting. The price gap between a 9 and a perfect 10 can be large, so look up recent sold prices for the exact grade rather than relying on asking prices.
For the budget cards, such as Mosaic and the base Optic, buying ungraded is usually fine. For the Silver Prizm and the signed cards, a graded copy is the safer buy.
How to avoid a wrong or fake listing
- Match the year, set and card number exactly: Prizm #353, Optic #277 and Mosaic #367 are the 2022 rookies. Later Purdy cards are not rookies.
- For a Silver Prizm, look for the silver refractor shine on the card front. A plain-looking card in the photo is the base version.
- For the National Treasures rookie patch autograph, remember it is numbered to 99. Be wary of any listing that does not show the serial number.
- Buy graded for expensive cards, and check the certificate number on the PSA, BGS or SGC website.
