Lucas, 23, and Trevor Martell, 18, bought three $30 boxes of Topps NFL Bowman cards from a Target store on October 15. Each brother took one for himself. They agreed to open the third together in the car.
Because we’re pretty much in this together, “Just have, like, our own name for it and, so since he was with me, he’s definitely going to get a good cut out of the money.
“We kind of, like, lost it right then and there,” Lucas told the New Haven Register. “Right behind that card, there was a Drake Maye, it’s called the Etched in Glass, and that card’s worth like $200 itself,” Lucas Martell told the outlet. Lucas said Trevor would get a fair share of the money, as the two of them are in it together.
Once they got into the car, they opened the third box and saw something they never expected. The card was a one-of-one Garbage Pail Kids SuperFractor featuring Tom Brady, with a gold border and gold lettering! Lucas could tell it was special before he read the name. That’s not all they found. After that, the brothers have bigger plans. They want to start their own trading card business, where they can enjoy the hobby and buy and sell cards with other collectors. “
