The 1994 rookie card of a particular defensive tackle for the Miami Hurricanes college football team is a prized possession these days.
Why, you ask?
Well, because it's The Rock's.
The rookie card for Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson sold for $45,000 in an auction, according to a post released by "The Great One" on his official Instagram page on the NFL's "Super Bowl Sunday" last night.
The statement attached to a photo of the $45,000 trading card from his 1994 rookie season reads as follows:
Verified
This story of how my UNIV of MIAMI football cardβs value continues to rise has become so surreal to me π€―Playing in the @NFL was my dream and playing in the Super Bowl was my even bigger dream.
Of course, neither dream came true for me βΊοΈπ€¦π½ββοΈ but years later...
On SUPER BOWL Sunday my rookie card gets sold for 45K!!
Congrats to the winning bidder! ππΎπ₯I never made it as a player to the big dance, so this humbling irony is not lost on me one bit ππΎ
