It seems that someone has profited from the recent surge in inflation. A card collector from Bedfordshire, England, gained attention online when he revealed the bids for a rare Messi and Ronaldo autographed Topps card. Ryan, the card's owner, expressed his surprise at the card's value, saying, "It was a complete shock. I had no idea it was so valuable until I started receiving offers of £45k plus within 30 minutes of the reveal. It was a surreal 24 hours." Despite originally purchasing the card for just $34, the offers have now reached an impressive $137,000. This 1/1 card is part of the "Topps Messi-Ronaldo Dual Auto 1/1 Superfractor card" set, which was first released in the late 2010s when Messi and Ronaldo were at the peak of their powers during El Clasico battles. In a nostalgic revival of card collecting, a 2022-23 Topps Triple autographed Chrome card featuring Messi, Ronaldo, and Erling Haaland's autographs is currently available for bidding at $1,300. The resurgence of card collecting after 25 years is indeed significant.
