The Hobby Waiver Wire: Week 2 Collectibles Buy/Sell Guide

If Week 1 felt like chaos, Week 2 doubled down with injuries, breakout performances, and some surprising redemption arcs. Just like fantasy football managers comb the waiver wire for hidden gems, savvy collectors should be watching eBay and auction sites for the same opportunities. For a full list of Rookie Silver Prizm PSA 10 prices visit our pre-season Fantasy Football / Prizm Silver price comparison article.

Here’s who to buy, who to sell, and who to stash after Week 2.

Category 1: Injury Fallout and Opportunity

Joe Burrow (Toe Surgery)

Pre-season PSA 10 Prizm Silver: $1,700

Burrow’s foot surgery sidelines him for roughly three months. His long-term value is safe, but collectors may see panic selling in the short term. If prices dip below his pre-season price, it’s a rare buying window for one of the hobby’s true blue-chip QBs.

Jake Browning (Next Man Up)

Rookie Prizm Draft Picks Autos: <$100

Browning stepped in with nine games under his belt from 2023 and 12 TDs on record. He’s not Burrow, but he’s shown he can keep Cincinnati competitive. His true rookie supply is limited, making Draft Picks autos one of the only viable plays — and still cheap enough to gamble on.

Brock Purdy (Toe Injury)

Pre-season PSA 10 Prizm Silver: $433

Purdy is expected to miss at least a few weeks. Luckily, San Francisco can lean on Mac Jones in the short term, but collectors should watch Purdy’s prices closely. If his PSA 10 Prizm Silver dips into the $300 range, it could be a smart long-term buy for a QB who’s already proven he can win at the highest level.

Mac Jones (Second Chance Spotlight)

PSA 10 Prizm Silver: Basement prices after New England flameout

Jones flashed signs of life with 279 yards and 3 TDs last week, and now he’s back in the spotlight while Purdy recovers. He’s not a buy just yet, but if San Francisco keeps winning with him under center, his once-forgotten rookie cards might see a bump.

Category 2: The Redemption Arcs

Daniel Jones

Pre-season PSA 10 Prizm Silver: $60
Current sales: $160+

Jones exploded in Week 2 with 300+ passing yards and his third rushing TD. His cards are already climbing, but relative to other QBs, they’re still cheap. If the Colts keep winning, collectors may re-rate Jones fast.

Russell Wilson

2012 PSA 10 Prizm Silver: trending +$100 over pre-season

Wilson leads the NFL in passing yards (588 through two games), but the Giants are 0–2 with KC and LAC up next. If the Giants collapse, his run could end quickly. This feels like the right time to sell into strength before the wheels fall off.

Category 3: The Breakouts

Rome Odunze

Pre-season PSA 10 Prizm Silver: $88
Current: ~$100

Odunze hauled in 128 yards and 2 TDs on 11 targets in Chicago’s shootout loss. Despite back-to-back big games, his market hasn’t moved much. If you can grab his Silver Prizm PSA 10 for anywhere close to $100, he could be a fantastic flip later this season.

Malik Nabers

Pre-season PSA 10 Prizm Silver: $194

Nabers delivered a true breakout game with 167 yards and 2 TDs on 13 targets in a primetime duel with Dallas. If you can find his PSA 10 Prizm Silver for under that $194 pre-season level, he’s a strong long-term hold and potential star-in-the-making.

Category 4: Rookie Flyers

Elic Ayomanor

Rookie Autos: <$30

The Stanford product made a highlight-reel one-hander and scored a TD on 56 yards. He and QB Cam Ward are showing chemistry, and his autos are so cheap that the upside is huge if he keeps it up.

Cam Skattebo

Rookie Autos: <$75

The workhorse RB had 59 yards and a TD on 13 touches. He’s fighting for a true RB1 role, but his violent running style is hobby-friendly. If he claims the job, today’s $75 price tag could look like a bargain.

Bottom Line Strategy

Injury Watch: Burrow and Purdy could be buy-low plays if panic hits.
Replacement Play: Browning and Mac Jones both step into short-term spotlight roles.
Value Climbers: Daniel Jones, Rome Odunze, and Malik Nabers are prime opportunities before the market catches up.
Sell High: Russell Wilson’s window may be closing fast.
Lottery Tickets: Ayomanor and Skattebo are cheap rookie darts worth throwing.
