Having a rare one-of-a-kind item is one thing, but to have it signed by two of the greatest football players of all time explains why it has risen into the media's spotlight. Many fanatics would opt to keep hold of the unique card but the chance to make a six-figure sum would be a tempting offer for any person across the globe.
DID YOU KNOW?
The card was discovered by a collector named Ryan from Bedfordshire. He paid just £27 ($35) before receiving multiple offers after revealing his find. He said: "It was a complete shock. I had no idea it was so valuable until I started getting offers of £45k plus within 30 minutes of the reveal. It was a surreal 24 hours."

The card is set to go up for auction on September 3 and is expected to attract bidders from all over the world. With an estimated value of between £75,000 ($98k) and £100k, Ryan's piece will be the most profitable following a series of finds that included a rare Lamine Yamal card and a piece that was signed by 21 previous Ballon d'Or winners.
