Hockey cards and collecting them are a very popular pastime in the sports world and among hockey fans of all kinds.

Many people collect cards of different players from different eras, even going so far as to buy them at quite impressive prices.

To some, it seems crazy to pay that much for them, while for others, it's an integral part of their lives.

Well, for those who don't get it, hold on to your hats, because the sale of Macklin Celebrini's rookie card is going to blow your mind.

That's right—Celebrini's rookie card, belonging to one of the best young players in the world, has just sold for 1.28 million US dollars!!!!

You read that right—someone shelled out nearly two million Canadian dollars out of their own pocket to get that piece of paper.

That price is absolutely mind-blowing, and it's obviously a historic record sale—excluding Wayne Gretzky cards.

This means that this Celebrini card sold for more than any other card featuring the best NHL players of all time.

Not even Sidney Crosby, Connor McDavid, or Mario Lemieux have fetched such a price.

It's truly impressive, but above all, incomprehensible to some.

In short, Celebrini isn't just raking in the millions with his NHL contract—he's also doing so with the sale of his rookie card, which really shows just how talented and polarizing this young player is.

He has a very bright career ahead of him, and he's likely to rise through the ranks fairly quickly.
