Newly Discovered Football Card Poised to Dethrone Mickey Mantle as Hobby’s Crown Jewel

MANTLE WHO?


In a discovery sending shockwaves through the sports card world, a previously unknown 1921 Pigskin Legends football card featuring mythical quarterback “Johnny Touchdown” is poised to eclipse the value of the iconic 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle card. The card, which features Touchdown in leather helmet glory and chewing what experts believe is vintage gum, was found tucked in a dusty shoebox in a Wisconsin attic.

“This card is a once-in-a-lifetime find,” said auctioneer Larry Goodman. “It’s like finding the Holy Grail but shinier—and it smells like old grass stains.”

Touchdown, a fictional player invented by early football promoters to sell tickets, never played a single real game. But hobbyists insist his card's rarity makes it even more valuable. “Mantle was great, but did he not exist?” argued collector Gary Wilkes. “This card transcends reality.”

Experts estimate the card could fetch $20 million at auction, assuming no one bends it while arguing over PSA grading. Meanwhile, the Mantle faithful have begun a smear campaign, alleging that Johnny Touchdown "would have been a system player."

As collectors prepare to remortgage their homes, one thing is clear: in the ever-competitive hobby, no legend—real or imagined—is safe from being upstaged by a piece of cardboard.

Guy Who Bought Entire Case of Prizm Still Pretending It’s Not a Bad Investment

  Friends Secretly Place Bets on When He’ll Admit Defeat   In what can only be described as an inspiring display of delusion, local collector Greg “CardKing87” Thompson is continuing to insist that purchasing an entire case of 2023-24 Prizm Basketball was a “brilliant investment” despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Thompson, 34, spent his entire tax refund and part of his daughter’s college fund to secure the 12-box case, convinced it would propel him to sports card stardom. “It’s just a matter of time before these rookie cards blow up in value,” said Thompson, holding up his 17th Isaiah Todd base card, which he’s now framing as a "hidden gem of the future." “You don’t understand the market, man. The real collectors are playing the long game. I’m just sitting on a goldmine waiting to explode.” Thompson’s confidence appears unwavering, despite the fact that most of his box breaks have yielded more base cards than the junk wax era. His prized pulls so far include th...

The Year is 2050: The Future of Sports Card Collecting is Here, and It's as Ridiculous as You Imagined

      Welcome to the year 2050, where sports card collecting has finally achieved the levels of insanity no one could have predicted, except, of course, for those of us who knew the hobby would eventually turn into a sci-fi fever dream. Gone are the days of cardboard and paper stock. In the future, no true collector is satisfied unless their cards are holographic, implanted with AI, and capable of having full conversations with their owners. And why settle for static images of athletes when you can own a card that emotionally bonds with you and critiques your fantasy league choices in real time? The Rise of “Living” Sports Cards It started innocently enough. First, there were the 3D lenticular cards in the 2020s. Then came the animated NFT cards, which led to the inevitable: fully sentient, interactive hologram cards. Panini's latest release, the "Eternal Rookie Series," allows you to talk directly to a holographic version of your favorite athlete, who responds with pre-...

  Topps has once again set the card-collecting world ablaze with their latest release of Topps NOW cards, commemorating every single thing Shohei Ohtani does in a Dodgers uniform and Paul Skenes’ rise to stardom with the Pirates. Fans of both players are scrambling to keep up with the near-hourly drops, which now range from highlight-reel home runs to “minorly impressive batting practice swings.” Ohtani’s Day at Dodgers Blue Brings Historic Levels of Topps NOW Cards Since his controversial signing with the Dodgers, Shohei Ohtani’s Topps NOW presence has reached unprecedented levels. What started as a tribute to his historic two-way skills has now turned into something bordering on the absurd. Every time Ohtani even breathes in a Dodgers jersey, Topps is ready to drop another card. “We couldn’t resist,” said a Topps spokesperson, while casually unboxing the 348th Ohtani Topps NOW release of the season. “Fans demand it, and Shohei’s done a lot since joining the Dodgers. Just last ...
