He was an unstoppable force in Tecmo Bowl on the original Nintendo.

We are naming the 2017 Patrick Mahomes Panini Prizm RC #269 as our card of the month and is a MUST HAVE for long term investors (this might also be the best card in the hobby in terms of a card you will want to have 20 years from now). Here are three of the best options according to recent auction data. The base version will fetch a respectable $40 or so in PSA 10 condition while the glossy version will cost much more in that grade.

First, I’ve always loved the design and thought Score’s idea of including six different border color options was quite creative. At 38 years old, time eventually caught up to Schmidt as an injured rotator cuff cut his 1988 season short and put an end to his streak of dominance.

Not only is he a GREAT football player but he is also a super cool guy. He was in Nike ad campaigns, reminding us that "Bo Knows" just about everything. It’s a simple card, although there is another option if you’d like a more premium version instead. However, when all was said and done, Glavine would collect 305 wins, which were enough to place him fourth on the all-time wins list for left-handed pitchers. Speaking of driving the ball, we all know what Barry Bonds was able to do in that regard as he would eventually set the career home run record with 762.

Mattingly was always one of the names collectors wanted to see as they ripped open packs during the late 1980s and he still has a good following in the hobby today. Second, the action shots are fantastic and perfectly capture some of the great stars and Hall of Famers of the era.

A two-time Cy Young Award winner and ten-time All-Star, Glavine was an integral part of those dominant Atlanta Braves pitching staffs that ruled the 1990s.

Sure, it was a rookie prospect card, but it was a guy who had bad numbers in 1987 and a terrible season in 1988. Glavine was a hell of a player and helped the Braves to their first World Series win in almost 40 years. Part of Score's "Rookie Prospect" subset, a fantastic action shot of Glavine delivering a pitch surrounded by orange, yellow and red border coloring makes this an overall attractive rookie card. It was a great era, but Glavine was the one who eventually signed with the Mets, ending the Big Three’s time together in Atlanta.
