Caleb Williams2024 Panini Prizm #301 · Silver Prizm

The first selection in the 2024 NFL Draft has a Prizm rookie numbered 301. Keeping those two numbers straight helps organize a Bears collection.

Chicago selected Caleb Williams first in 2024. His Silver Prizm #301 gives a Bears collector one exact card to pursue, whether the larger collection follows the draft class, the team or the Prizm parallels.

Define what completes the slot

For a rookie-class binder, the player and NFL issue may be the important choices. For a parallel collection, the regular card and Silver each deserve an entry. The graded reference identifies the Silver as 2024 Panini Prizm #301. Check that wording against the actual label and record the number on the back. A similar-looking card from another product does little to answer what this slot should cost. 1 2

The player behind the card

The 2024 Silver marks a full Bears season, not a late cameo: Williams played 17 games and threw 20 touchdown passes. That distinction helps place #301 among the other quarterbacks in this draft class. 5

Chicago credited Williams with starting every game in both 2024 and 2025, a two-season run last matched for the Bears by Bob Avellini in 1976 and 1977. 6

Look at completed results in sequence

Fanatics Collect sold a PSA 10 Silver #301 on July 20, 2026, for $1,320 with buyer’s premium. PSA later reports an eBay auction for $2,025 on October 31 and another for $1,775 on November 1, both in PSA 10. That sequence shows how much choosing a single observation can change the answer. It takes more evidence to identify a market trend. 3 2

Compare the mint option before paying for gem mint

PSA’s September 9, 2026, auction history includes PSA 9 Silver examples at $197.50 and $222.50. The amounts are provider-reported and from an earlier month than the autumn PSA 10 results. They give a Bears collector a reason to check the PSA 9 tier on its own. For two promising copies, compare border balance and inspect the surface under different light before choosing. 4

Collector questions

Is #301 the draft selection number?

It is the card’s checklist number. Williams was the first overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft.

How should I compare a mint example with a gem-mint one?

First compare current sales within each grade. Then compare the actual cards’ presentation and decide whether the difference fits what you want to own.
