Serena Williams' husband and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian shared his excitement over the sale of Peyton Manning's rarest rookie cards. Ohanian, an avid memorabilia enthusiast and trading card collector, couldn't help but express his admiration for the legendary quarterback's "mean mug" photo on the card.
Peyton Manning, a former NFL quarterback known for his impressive career with the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos, is a legend in the world of football and has a reported net worth of more than $250 Million. Among his memorabilia, the 1998 Star Rubies rookie cards stand out due to their exceptional rarity and condition.
With only 35 copies available for rookies, these cards are incredibly hard to find in higher grades. Only five cards exist in a BGS 8, and just three have achieved higher grades from both BGS and PSA, making them a coveted item for collectors like Ohanian.
On Thursday, December 12, Ohanian shared his excitement about the sale of Peyton Manning's rare rookie cards on his Instagram story. Praising the "mean mug" photo of Manning, he humorously invited Eli Manning to "come get your bro."
"I just wanna say this Peyton Manning mean mug photo goes hard. Eli Manning come get your bro," Ohanian wrote.
Alexis Ohanian's dedication to collecting has been evident through his extensive assortment of memorabilia, ranging from Serena Williams' tennis cards to vintage games and Marvel items.
In February this year, he joined forces with Brent Montgomery and Evan Parker to launch On Mantel, a social network tailored for collectors. Mantel provides a platform for enthusiasts to share their discoveries, including sports cards, trading card games, comic books, and more.
