At a young age of 28, Las Vegas Raiders player Blake Martinez shocked many fans when he announced that he was retiring from the NFL.
His reason to retire was as rare as his Gem Mint’ Pokémon Illustrator card graded 9.5 which sold for a whopping $672,000 via Goldin auctions last month.
He’s making enough & more money selling Pokémon cards, which also turns out to be his true passion and has decided to focus more on that now.
