Market outlook
Stable Outlook 7/10
High supply and common status keep prices level. Potential for minor increases if Harmon performs well in his first NFL seasons, but no immediate spike expected[2][3].
Next months. Next 3–6 months: Slight upward movement if he records sacks or tackles in Week 1–5 games[6]
Long term. 1–3 years: Moderate growth if he becomes a starter or earns Pro Bowl honors, but overall capped by common supply[1]
History
Derrick Harmon is a defensive tackle selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers as the 21st overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. He began his college career at Michigan State for three seasons before transferring to Oregon for the 2024 season, where he showcased elite defensive skills leading to his first-round selection. He signed a fully guaranteed four-year rookie contract worth $17,973,604 with the Steelers and is expected to make his NFL regular-season debut on September 7, 2026, against the Jets[1][4].
This specific card entry (Derrick Harmon, Set: Unknown, Number: 96) appears to be a placeholder or non-standard variant; verified first prints of Harmon appear in the 2025 Panini Prizm set (#368 Silver) and 2025 Panini Donruss Rated Rookie Throwback (#17) in 2025, shortly after his draft selection in April 2025[2][3].

Collector notes
Condition. Key flaws include centering issues, corner wear, and surface scratches common on rookie cards. For graded copies, check for edge dings and gloss retention. Ungraded copies often show printing defects or misalignment[2][3].
Storage. Store in a hard plastic snap case or top loader, avoid direct sunlight, and keep in a climate-controlled environment (ideal humidity 40–50%). Use a sleeve inside the case for extra protection[2].
Authenticity. Fakes often lack proper holograms, have incorrect font weights, or show pixelated printing. Authentic cards feature precise embossing and set-specific trademarks. Verify via graded, graded, or graded certification numbers[3].
