PhotoGenic is built around nearly borderless, full-bleed action photography, and the \u003cem\u003eLight It Up\u003c\/em\u003e insert is a brand debut exclusive to the NFL edition — a brand-new concept, not a carryover from prior sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrint run:\u003c\/strong\u003e \/25 Green — the 7th scarcest tier in a parallel ladder that runs Bronze \/150 all the way down to Black 1\/1, sitting firmly in premium serialized territory.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe insert:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eLight It Up\u003c\/em\u003e is a debut insert for the PhotoGenic Football product, placing McCarthy alongside names like Patrick Mahomes, CeeDee Lamb, Travis Hunter, and Christian McCaffrey — elite company on a short checklist.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe player:\u003c\/strong\u003e McCarthy was the \u003cstrong\u003e#10 overall pick\u003c\/strong\u003e in the 2024 NFL Draft by the Minnesota Vikings. His 2025 NFL debut made history — he became the first starting QB to overcome a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit and win in regulation on debut since Steve Young in 1985, and the first with two TD passes and a rushing score on debut since Cam Newton in 2011. He's 23 years old, in a QB competition for 2026, and his card market moves on every headline.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarket context:\u003c\/strong\u003e At peak relevance in September 2025, McCarthy generated the \u003cstrong\u003efourth-highest eBay card sales volume\u003c\/strong\u003e of any active or retired NFL player — over $9.2 million year-to-date.
