French Superstar Antoine Griezmann Trades Winning Jersey for Pokémon Cards!
The Pokémon Trading Card Game is on fire right now, with collectors scrambling to get their hands on the latest expansion. Packs are flying off shelves, and prices are soaring. If you’re lucky, you might find a box—if you’re really lucky, you might not even have to pay for it.
Antoine Griezmann, a star player for Atlético Madrid, made headlines for something completely unexpected right after his team won a crucial Copa del Rey quarterfinal match. Instead of just celebrating on the field, he ran straight to the stands for a trade that no one saw coming.
A fan was waiting with two sealed boxes of the rare Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Prismatic Evolutions Expansion. Griezmann, who’s a well-known Pokémon collector, saw an opportunity he couldn’t pass up.
In exchange for the cards, he handed over his game-worn jersey—a piece of memorabilia that any soccer fan would kill for.
The exchange was caught on video, and you can check it out on social media. You don’t see deals like this every day, but for someone as passionate about Pokémon as Griezmann, it makes perfect sense.
