The highly coveted, one-of-one Cooper Flagg Rookie Debut Patch Autograph card was officially found on Monday night during a live-streamed event in Rhode Island. Members of RhodyBreakers, a card-opening business operating out of the Baseball Cards of Rhode Island retail shop, pulled the card during a live broadcast for their clients. The multi-million dollar trading card was discovered inside a sealed box of Topps flagship basketball products during a standard three-hobby-box pack break.Trading card company Topps publicly confirmed the authenticity of the find shortly after the broadcast. The specialized collectible features an official embedded jersey patch from Flagg’s first career professional game alongside an on-card autograph from the player. The emergence of the one-of-one item resolves a massive national search within the collectibles community, as corporate buyers and NBA teams had previously placed substantial bounties on the unreleased asset. Prior to the pull, the Dallas Mavericks organization had issued a massive public offer to secure ownership of the specific card upon its discovery.Visual footage of the card being drawn went viral across social media platforms directly after the stream. The physical card was noted to have slight production wear on its top-left corner, a characteristic that sellers noted has appeared on multiple identical cards throughout the product run. The card will be sold in its exact pulled condition. The anonymous client who purchased the specific slot in the RhodyBreakers live opening now holds full legal ownership of the asset, leaving immediate questions regarding whether they will accept the standing multi-million dollar corporate bounties or head to a private auction block.
