The father and son duo pre-ordered three boxes with Panini Prizm Football cards from a nearby store, Triple Play Vintage, in February. Originally, they were supposed to pick up their cards in April – but were delayed to last week, which was "opening day" for collectors around the world.
"It is literally a one in a million chance that Johnny opened that card in the first box on opening day for the series," Chad said. "It is the best card you can possibly get from the whole product. He won the lottery."
...
Almost instantly, Johnny had offers from other collectors to purchase the card after his video was shared among collectors worldwide. Over the weekend, he sold it for for $100,000 in cash to a private collector in Michigan. Since then, the card has been sold again for $175,000.
...
Triple Play Vintage owner Terry Woodward said he was excited when he found out Johnny pulled the card, adding he sees him in the Cuyahoga Falls store looking at cards often.
"When it's a kid, it just makes it so much better," he said. "You know he is opening those cards and loving every one of them. And for something like this to happen, you know he will be collecting for a long time."
He opens the pack at the 4:00 mark.
