The Rock’s Rookie Card Sells For A Lot Of Money

That’s why he’s The Great One. Before Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson made it big as both a Hollywood actor and a WWE superstar, he played college football as a Defensive Tackle for the University of Miami Hurricanes. As a result of this, a trading card of him was produced when he was a rookie and it just made someone a lot of money.

The Rock posted the following message on Instagram earlier today:

This story of how my UNIV of MIAMI football card’s value continues to rise has become so surreal to me ?

Playing in the @NFL was my dream and playing in the Super Bowl was my even bigger dream.
Of course, neither dream came true for me ??????? but years later…
On SUPER BOWL Sunday my rookie card gets sold for 45K!!
Congrats to the winning bidder! ???

I never made it as a player to the big dance, so this humbling irony is not lost on me one bit ??

Editor’s Opinion:

This is awesome. I had a feeling that his rookie card would sell for a lot of money, but somebody making a cool 45 K is quite outstanding!
