Graded 1914 FA Cup Final Card Among Premium Memorabilia Listed on The Athletic Marketplace

Vintage and modern icons share the spotlight

The Athletic's FA Cup section, which serves as the home for fixtures, scores, stats and transfer rumors across the competition, is currently showcasing a striking collection of graded football memorabilia — offering collectors a direct glimpse of the market for both century-old history and modern-day icons.

Headlining the listings is a piece of genuine FA Cup history: a graded trading card from the 1914 FA Cup Final between Burnley FC and Liverpool. Graded PSA 2 by Professional Sports Authenticator, the card is listed at $249.99, offering collectors a tangible link to one of the oldest finals in English football's showpiece competition.

Autograph market features global superstars

Alongside the historic card, the marketplace listings feature several autographed Panini Prizm products, each individually graded and priced at a premium.

A 2025 Panini Prizm FIFA Flashback autograph of Roberto Carlos, graded PSA 9, is available for $499.00. The Brazilian left-back, famed for his free-kick prowess and World Cup-winning exploits, remains one of the most collectible defenders in the hobby.

Also listed is a 2025 Panini Prizm Flashback autograph of legendary Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, in Juventus colours and numbered 5/5, priced at $700.00 — the highest-priced item in the current selection. Buffon's Juventus legacy and record-breaking career continue to command strong demand among collectors.

Rounding out the set is a graded 2014 Panini Prizm World Cup Signature card of Colombian striker Radamel Falcao (ref. #S-FA), offered at $249.99, marking the tournament that saw the striker's nation reach the quarter-finals for the first time in its history.

For fans and hobbyists alike, the listings underline how the FA Cup and international football memorabilia markets continue to draw interest — from a pre-First World War final to the flashiest modern Panini releases.
