Category: AFL Nick Daicos polled 47 votes to claim the 2026 Brownlow Medal tonight, finishing 11 votes clear of Bailey Smith. His 2026 Select AFL Footy Stars Brownlow Predictor Signature, numbered to just 220, was a speculative card this morning; it is the confirmed winner card tonight. ## Which Nick Daicos card matters most right now The 2026 Select AFL Footy Stars Brownlow Predictor Signature, /220, is the card. Select produced one Brownlow Predictor Signature per contender, each numbered to 220: whoever won the Brownlow turns their card into the season's definitive winner card. Daicos won, so his is it. There's also a 2026 Select AFL Footy Stars Brownlow Predictor Patch, /220, which pairs the same mechanic with a jersey swatch. Both are Brownlow Predictor inserts from the same retail set, both numbered to 220. ## The full Nick Daicos card ladder in 2026 His confirmed 2026 Select AFL Footy Stars cards, from most common to scarcest: - Luminous Base #LB32: unnumbered, retail - Footy Heads #FH20: unnumbered, retail insert - Select Rewind #SR29: unnumbered, retail insert - BOOM #BI34: /510 - Mercury Team Colours #MY38: /425 - Gold Octane Hobby Diecut: /315, Hobby-exclusive - Brownlow Predictor Signature: /220, retail (confirmed winner card, redemption active) - Brownlow Predictor Patch: /220, retail (redemption active) - Footy Stars Hobby Green: /60, Hobby-exclusive - Brownlow Predictor Signature Platinum: /60, Hobby-exclusive - Silver Blend Refractor: /40, Hobby-exclusive (rarest numbered parallel) ## Why this win is different for the card market Daicos's 47 votes set a new record in the 3-2-1 voting era and included six consecutive three-vote games across Rounds 15 to 20, itself a V/AFL history record. He also won the AFLPA MVP and AFL Coaches Award this season, only the fifth player ever to claim all three in the same year. That kind of season concentrates collector attention in a way a closer count simply does not. Collingwood has one of the largest supporter bases in the competition, which amplifies buy intent on announcement night. OzCardTrader collectors had been explicit before the count: Footy Stars 2026 market interest was tied directly to a Daicos Brownlow win.

The redemption angle makes 2026 particularly notable: holders of the /220 Predictor Sig and Patch can convert them into the Gold limited-edition version, a separate card available only through that process. The /60 Platinum Predictor Signature is Hobby-exclusive and carries no direct redemption path. It is the harder card to find, and worth watching on eBay AU as post-Brownlow listings appear. ## Peter Daicos and the collector appeal that spans generations Nick's father Peter Daicos is a Collingwood legend, one of the most beloved figures in the game's history. Nick is Collingwood's first Brownlow medallist since Dane Swan in 2011, and the first of the Daicos name. Older Magpies collectors who prized Peter Daicos cards have good reason to open a new binder page. ## FAQ ### What is the Brownlow Predictor Signature card and why is it valuable?
