Kevin O’Leary’s Million-Dollar Card Win…
Kobe Bryant, a well-loved Los Angeles Lakers icon, always aimed high, tirelessly trying to mirror his idol, Michael Jordan. The on-court duels between Bryant and Jordan are legendary, captured in timeless videos and photographs. However, the recent showstopper is a unique trading card featuring both superstars’ signatures, auctioned off for a staggering $12.9 million! It’s practically worth enough to buy a small island or a mountain made entirely of goldfish crackers! Until now, the purchaser remained a mystery, but it was revealed that Kevin O’Leary, of ‘Shark Tank’ fame, snagged the treasure along with fellow investors Matt Allen and Paul Warshaw.
O’Leary, known for his sharp eye on ‘Shark Tank’, jumped into the collector’s pool like a dolphin donning a business suit, phone, and calculator. In a pre-dawn adventure, O’Leary and his partners held a 3 a.m. Zoom meeting to snag the card, treating it as seriously as they would a prized cryptocurrency or a lifetime macaroni art collection! O’Leary quipped the card won’t be on the block again during his lifetime, likening it to his collection of bitcoins and gold bars. As for another Bryant trading card touching these heights? Maybe when pigs fly or basketball courts start serving pancakes!
