This has got to be one of the BEST stories in sports card history, and it happened to me this morning.
Warning: this story involved a $35,800 transaction, a German wedding, and Lamine Yamal
This morning, I woke up and saw a Lamine Yamal /10 Base Prizms Gold NFT for sale on the #PaniniBlockchain for $35,800. I felt that the price was fair and I purchased at 5am.
Seconds later, I get a dm from the anonymous seller on Instagram. “Hey this is Brian”. A German guy, few followers. What I learned next is nothing short of f*cking legendary.
I’ll let him tell the story from here, and I’ll accompany the epic tale with photo and video proof. Sit down, and buckle up.
“Two days before my wedding, the four of us—my best man, my wife, my cousin, and I—went out and bought a few Panini packs together. Just for fun, we agreed that each of us would keep one pack sealed and save it for the wedding day.
The plan was to open them together after the ceremony and see what we got.
What made it even more special was that my best man had never opened a trading card pack in his life. It was also my wife's first real experience with the hobby.
My cousin and I had opened cards before, but none of us expected anything crazy.
Our friend from Prime Collectors was there as well. Since he creates card content, he had his camera rolling the entire time, so every reaction you see in the video is completely genuine.
After the ceremony, we all sat down and started opening our packs. My best man went first—nothing special. Then my wife opened hers—a few nice cards, but nothing huge. My cousin was next, and again, nothing out of the ordinary.
Then it was my turn.
I started going through the cards one by one until I saw a flash of gold. The moment I saw it, I knew it could be something big. When I turned the card over, it was a Lamine Yamal Panini NFT numbered 8/10.
For a few seconds, nobody said a word. Then everyone completely lost it. You can hear in the video the exact moment everyone realizes what had just been pulled. Even Prime Collectors, who has seen countless incredible pulls, couldn't believe he had just captured that moment on camera.
but honestly, the value wasn't the most important part. What made it unforgettable was that it happened on my wedding day, from the one pack I had intentionally saved two days earlier.
It's also important to mention that the wedding was already fully paid for, so this wasn't a story about "paying for the wedding" with the card. It was simply an unbelievable coincidence and one of those once-in-a-lifetime moments that you could never plan.
Looking back, I honestly don't think I'll ever experience another moment quite like it. On the same day that I married the love of my life, I also pulled one of the biggest cards I've ever held in my hands. That's what makes this story so special.” @PaniniAmerica
𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗥𝗢𝗗𝗨𝗖𝗜𝗡𝗚: Topps Dynasty Black
Many collectors are familiar with Topps Dynasty: a high-end brand which pairs on-card autographs with game-worn memorabilia.
Dynasty Black takes this concept to the next level.
Dynasty has game-worn relics, but Dynasty Black has relics that were used *during* the moments where athletes completed historic achievements.
The Dynasty Black brand will be reserved ONLY for the truly historic accomplishments, meaning that these cards will be extremely limited in nature.
Further, these Dynasty Black cards will not be a standalone product, but will appear in a more standard product offering. This way, all collectors can have a chance at pulling some of the most exciting trading cards ever made.
We will also work to release these cards as close to the actual historic events as possible.
With this in mind, you may be able to guess what the first Dynasty Black release will be.
We can’t wait to show you more soon...
