No, there's not a $4.5M card at stake here...that's just a thumbnail I thought was wild on today's sports card pricing.
Here is (below) the video of me opening the mystery box of five rookie cards that I was instructed to giveaway to the FFM community.
Giveaway dates and winners announced over the next two weeks, pre-season starting.

From the RC Notes from TUE am 8/19:
-- There will be a special release video today, from me/RC.
I was sent a box of sports cards from a long-time FFMer and avid/serious (SERIOUS) card collector. All I was told was that it was a box of five rookie cards and they were to be given out as giveaways for however I saw fit.
I had no idea what cards they were, whether they were all football or a mix...whether they were expensive or mere commons (I had no thought/reason to believe that they would be junk...and I was right).
So, I received the box in the mail, and I kept it sealed to do a live open reveal on video. I have recorded that video, slicing open the box, opening them up and showing each one...and did a quick eBay search of their values on each as they were revealed. Some of them were unique enough that they had little to comp to...but I did the best I could to see what they were worth.
We’re going to give these cards away...but most/all are going to go to current customers...to honor and thank long time and current customers and not to try to use it to bait any new customers like we’re some car dealership with whacky inflatable tube men flailing around. No. We honor the people who helped build this little engine that could first. I discuss my ideas on what the random giveaways of the cards will be/what group is eligible on the video.
This is a gift from a fellow FFMer...a thank you to the community. Who’s gonna step and try to out do them for a next giveaway for the community?
Not a card collector? Hey, if you get randomly chosen for one of the cards...is it something that someone in your life that is a collector may LOVE as a valuable gift? Or you take it to a card store and flip it for some $$$. It’s yours to do with what you wish.
That video will be out randomly some time today. The giveaways will start this week...and I’ll detail it ahead of each kind of giveaway. Watch the video, you’ll understand...and even if you aren’t a collector, you’ll enjoy the intrigue of finding out the burning question of ‘what’s in the box’...and a bonus of enjoyment with me struggling to open the box at first...
