Two brothers find ultra-rare Tom Brady card in $30 box

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.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. “We kind of, like, lost it right then and there,” Lucas told the New Haven Register.One in 10.5 million chanceWhat are the chances of pulling this card? Well, let’s just say they're one in 10.5 million, and most people will never open a pack that holds anything close to it. The card is so rare because it is the only copy that exists.

It comes from a collaboration between Garbage Pail Kids and Topps, and a similar one-of-one Garbage Pail Kids SuperFractor of Cooper Flagg sold for $288,000, which Topps says is the most expensive Garbage Pail Kids card ever sold. Brady’s name adds further value to the card.
