BREAKING: Uncle Rico Football Card Surfaces, Instantly Overshadows "Johnny Touchdown" in Hobby Value

JOHNNY TOUCHDOWN WHO?

In a plot twist no one saw coming, the sports card world has been rocked again—this time by the discovery of a 2004 Gridiron Greats card featuring none other than Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite. Experts are already calling it “the greatest sports card ever made,” with initial valuations eclipsing the recently discovered Johnny Touchdown card.

“Forget Johnny,” said card enthusiast Marcy Callahan. “Uncle Rico could throw a football over them mountains. This card represents what could have been—the greatest arm in history, robbed by fate and time.”

The Uncle Rico card, found in a gas station vending machine in Idaho, features Rico in his prime, posing next to his iconic orange van. A rare parallel version includes a relic swatch of authentic ’70s upholstery from the van itself, sending collectors into a frenzy.

Hobbyists are now debating whether Rico or Johnny Touchdown deserves the title of most valuable football card. "Johnny was a myth," argued Rico loyalist Dave Branson. "But Rico lived the dream. He could've gone pro if Coach just put him in."

With the bidding war already climbing past $25 million, insiders speculate it’s only a matter of time before other fictional football legends, like Bobby Boucher, enter the hobby spotlight. Collectors, grab your wallets—and maybe your time machines.
