Backstory to the Mark Zuckerberg Baseball Card

In 1992, an eight year old boy attended Elmwood Camp in Westchester County, New York and dreamed of making it in the big leagues! Weighing in at just 48 lbs, the young infielder notched up a remarkable .920 batting average.

After discussing his future career with his favorite counselor, Allie Tarantino, the aspiring young player was kind enough to gift Allie the one of a kind baseball card that Mark’s own mother had had made by a local printer. Half-jokingly, Allie asked the young man to sign the card. After nearly 3 decades, Allie never expected to have in his possession the world’s first and only tech giant rookie card signed by the genius mind behind Meta, Mark Zuckerberg.

As a leading authority on collectibles, it was inevitable that this unique piece of history came into ComicConnect's possession. Our team has worked closely with Allie, waiting for the perfect opportunity to unveil it. We could think of no better way than to launch our initiative in the world of digital collectibles than with a side-by-side auction of the physical card and the NFT.
