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.

BREAKING: Man Who Spent $15,000 on Will Grier Card Outraged to Learn Seller Didn’t Offer Free Shipping

   eBay Headquarters — Just hours after proudly acquiring a $15,000 Will Grier football card , local collector PrizmPrince420 has filed an official complaint after realizing the seller charged an additional $6.95 for shipping. “This is highway robbery,” the collector said in a tearful Instagram story. “If I’m dropping fifteen grand on Will freakin’ Grier, the least they could do is toss in USPS First Class. Or a padded envelope. Or maybe hand-deliver it with a police escort.” The seller, however, stood firm. “Look, rules are rules. Shipping isn’t free,” said CardKing87 , who admitted he nearly fainted when the auction actually ended above $100. “Honestly, I would’ve mailed it with a stick of gum and a handwritten apology.” Meanwhile, the hobby community has been merciless. Forums are ablaze with users mocking the buyer’s priorities: “Imagine paying $15k for Will Grier, then complaining about postage.” “That’s like buying a yacht and whining about the gas.” “Bro got...

Madison Beer’s “Touchdown‑Ready” Trading Card Hits Shelves, Fans Panic Over Potential “Relationship” Draft Pick

    San Diego, CA – August 19, 2025 — In a move that has both the NFL and the pop‑music world scrambling for their helmets, Topps announced today the release of a limited‑edition Madison Beer trading card—complete with a holographic “relationship” seal—just days before the pop star is rumored to announce a romance with Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert. The card, dubbed “Quarterback Crush #01,” features Beer striking a pose that looks suspiciously like a touchdown celebration, while Herbert’s jersey number (10) is subtly etched into the background like a secret play‑call. The back of the card lists her “career stats” (number of Grammy nominations, Instagram followers, and the exact amount of hair product used per concert) alongside Herbert’s “relationship metrics” (average pass completion rate, number of touchdowns, and the number of times he’s been caught humming “All About That Bass”). “We wanted to capture the moment when two American icons collide—pop s...

  CHARLOTTE, NC — In a baffling act of financial self-destruction, a collector this week shelled out $15,000 for a one-of-one Will Grier football card , leaving experts, hobbyists, and even Geoff Wilson completely dumbfounded. Hobby Analysts Baffled Hobby insiders immediately scrambled to make sense of the purchase. Some speculated the card had been secretly infused with gold dust, while others theorized it doubled as a deed to waterfront property in Florida. “I checked twice to make sure it wasn’t Tom Brady ’s name spelled wrong,” said veteran grader Larry Feinberg. “Nope. Just plain old Will Grier. Someone actually wired real money for this.”   The Collector Speaks Out The anonymous buyer, known only by his eBay handle PrizmPrince420 , defended the purchase in an emotional livestream: “Everyone laughed at the guy who bought Bitcoin at $100. Everyone mocked the first man who invested in Beanie Babies. This is the same thing. Will Grier is the next big… okay, maybe no...

    WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a move that has sent shock waves through the sports card world, the U.S. Trade Representative’s office announced today a sweeping set of tariffs on imported trading cards, claiming the measure will “protect American cardboard jobs” and “finally make Panini pay for their sticker autos.” Effective immediately, all foreign-made cards — from Japanese Pokémon to Italian soccer stickers — will face a 25% “Slab Tax” at the border. Collectors fear the move could raise the cost of sealed product, making it slightly more expensive to be financially irresponsible. Collectors Prepare for Cardboard Prohibition “This is the end,” said Brad “BreakDaddy79” Hensley, live-streaming a case break while crying into a pack of penny sleeves. “Do you know what this means for my margins? I’ll have to start charging $100 for shipping and tell people it’s for ‘handling fees.’” Meanwhile, rumors have already spread of an underground “card smuggling” network. Hobbyists hav...

Trading Card Investors Ditch Stock Market, Say “Cardboard Has Way Fewer Earnings Calls”

  NEW YORK, NY — In a stunning shift in investment trends, thousands of self-proclaimed “cardboard capitalists” are abandoning the traditional stock market in favor of colorful rectangles featuring athletes, cartoon characters, and guys who played 11 minutes in the NBA. The movement, unofficially dubbed “Wax Street,” has Wall Street analysts scrambling to understand how a PSA 10 Charizard is now considered more stable than blue-chip tech stocks. “Why invest in Amazon when you can own a Justin Herbert rookie that glows in the dark and smells like Mountain Dew?” said Kyle McManus, 34, a former financial advisor turned full-time card flipper. “Dividends are boring. I want numbered parallels.”        “The Market Is Bearish, But This Luka RC Is Foil” Cardboard investors cite several advantages over stocks, including: No SEC oversight The thrill of pulling a “banger” on live stream while shirtless And a strong belief that a signed piece of plastic can fund ...
