Tyler Shough’s rookie card market is catching fire at the exact moment his on-field story is getting louder. After another dramatic New Orleans Saints finish — a 20-17 comeback win over the Carolina Panthers — collectors are reacting to the rookie QB’s momentum with triple-digit price moves showing up on key cards.
One of the cleanest market signals: Sports Card Investor’s 2025 Mosaic price guide lists Shough’s #312 Silver as up 303% over the last seven days.
Collectors Are Chasing Shough’s Mosaic, Optic Previews and Early Autos
The current “hobby footprint” looks like a familiar QB surge: flashy Mosaic parallels drawing attention, while early autographs and short-print style cards become tougher to land at last week’s numbers.
A quick evidence snapshot (completed-sales style context where available):
- 2025 Mosaic #312 Silver: Sports Card Investor lists it up 303% (7 days).
- Mosaic singles are moving at low-dollar levels: Sports Card Investor shows Shough’s 2025 Mosaic “Introductions – Silver” last sold at $4.53 with a +357% move over 30 days.
- A higher-end lane exists, too: Sports Card Investor lists Shough’s 2025 Mosaic #312 Rookie Autographs with a last sale of $42.00 and a +40% change over 30 days.
- Recent sold comps (example): SportsCardsPro’s sales log for Mosaic #312 Silver shows completed prices bouncing around the low single digits, with several sales in the roughly $2–$10 range depending on version/labeling/timing.
That mix — low-cost parallels heating up while autos get tugged higher — is often what you see when collectors decide a rookie quarterback is no longer “just a name” and starts feeling like a weekly storyline.
Why Shough Is Spiking: He’s Beating the NFC South’s Former No. 1 Picks
The football reason is pretty simple: Shough keeps stacking “pressure” wins inside the division, and he’s doing it against quarterbacks who were drafted to be franchise saviors.
Two straight weeks gave collectors a clean narrative:
- December 7 at Tampa Bay: Shough and the Saints pulled a 24-20 upset over the Buccaneers.
- December 14 vs. Carolina: Shough led a late comeback in a 20-17 win, throwing for 272 yards and a touchdown and setting up the go-ahead field goal in the final seconds.
Those wins came against Baker Mayfield (the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft) and Bryce Young (the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft).
For the hobby, that’s jet fuel: “rookie QB beats former No. 1 overall pick” is the kind of simple headline that pulls in team collectors and QB speculators at the same time.
What to Watch Next for Shough and the Card Market
New Orleans’ next game is another “why does this matter today?” catalyst: the Saints host the New York Jets in Week 16 (Dec. 21).
If Shough strings together another win — especially another late drive — you’ll usually see more attention shift from bargain Mosaic singles into scarcer formats (autos, numbered parallels, short prints). If he has a rough outing, the market can cool just as fast.
On the season, Shough has posted a 3-3 record, completing 144-216 passes for 1,484 yards and six touchdowns, with five interceptions. He’s also rushed 36 times for 138 yards and two touchdowns.
One reality check: card prices are volatile, and percent changes can be driven by a small number of sales — so it’s best to track completed sales ranges rather than one screenshot-worthy spike.
