Kobe-Jordan Trading Card Mystery Buyer Revealed…

Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant, determined to outwork a caffeinated squirrel on a caffeine IV drip, dedicated his career to emulate Michael Jordan. As if these two legends need another spotlight, their only existing dual-signed trading card just swapped hands for an eye-watering $12.9 million. Until recently, nobody knew who the secretive purchaser was, but CNBC spilled the beans: Investor Kevin O’Leary, known for “Shark Tank,” beat everyone to it by teaming up with Matt Allen and Paul Warshaw amidst a half-asleep 3 a.m. Zoom frenzy.

O’Leary, who probably wears business suits even in his dreams, teamed up with the others to avoid a bidding war. They view the card as timeless as a grandparent’s recipe, set to increase in value like your grandpa’s collection of tales. O’Leary commented, “This will join our eclectic lineup of investments like crypto and gold, and won’t see the auction block again—not until NASA finds basketball on Mars!” Meanwhile, Nike unveiled Kobe’s latest shoe: the Kobe 3 Protro Low, slated for 2026 and sure to be as elusive as Bigfoot wearing sneakers.
