Before becoming one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, and the Most Electrifying Man in Sports Entertainment, The Rock attempted to have a football career. He was highly regarded and received many offers from Division I collegiate programs. He’d join the University of Miami, where he mostly played as a defensive tackle. Unfortunately, he’d suffer injuries and end up playing in the Canadian Football League rather than the NFL and was cut a few months into his first season.
Now, a very rare piece of memorabilia from his football career has recently sold for big money through an eBay auction. In 1994, the Bumble Bee tuna company produced a 24-card sheet of players from the University of Miami football players, including future NFL stars Ray Lewis and Warren Sapp. The Rock was among them, and this would act as his rookie card, which is usually the most in-demand card for any sportsperson. The cards were given away, but due to the bad weather, many were damaged, and it’s believed there are only around 50 still in existence. After being graded a Gem Mint 10 by PSA, which is a virtually perfect card, a total of 53 bids were placed, with it selling for $13,988. It’s believed this is $10,000 more than the last time one of these cards sold for in 2014 and shows The Rock’s popularity is continuing to increase.
