- The Joe Rogan Experience.
- Let's take this opportunity to give credit
to the sexiest man alive according to "Guardian."
- Fauci?
- Fauci?
- Did you see that?
- Imagine a lot of girls lining up
looking to fuck that guy.
- Hilarious.
- So, I don't know if you, you know, the picture,
did you see his pose?
- Yeah, yeah, hilarious.
- What do you think about that?
- Well, how the fuck does he have time to do that?
Aren't you trying to protect us from the evil coronavirus?
- Well, I mean, when you're that sexy, bro,
when you're that sexy--
- I guess you just take a couple seconds,
take a photo. - I wanted to give you a gift.
I wanted to give you a gift.
- Oh, you gave me a gift?
- I figured if you're a guy--
- If you give me a Fauci doll, I already have one.
- No, no, no, I'm not gonna give you a Fauci doll.
I'm gonna give you something a little more
than a Fauci dollar, you know, because--
- A Fauci doll, I have a doll.
- Because of what he just did.
- Uh-oh.
- I got you Tony Fauci's Topps rookie card, PSA 10.
- He's got a rookie card?
- This is something I think you should keep for--
- Is this real?
- Yeah, I mean, Bobby, we just probably increased
the value by five times right now just by talking about it.
- This is real?
- A card for Fauci, and--
- You see that?
Can you see it on camera, Jay?
He's throwing a pitch.
- He's throwing a pitch.
Did you see his pitch?
- I would imagine it was atrocious.
- You gotta see the pitch.
- I can't. - I don't know if you can show it.
You cannot, right?
You can't show it right now.
- Who had the worst pitch ever?
- That's very arguable, but there's a bad one.
- Judd Apatow?
- 50 Cent or--
- Judd Apatow had a bad one.
- 50 Cent had a bad one?
- 50 Cent had a bad one.
- Gary Delbate.
- Gary Delbate had a bad one.
- Oh, Baba Bui.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Oh, well.
- Yeah.
- Anyways, I thought you would appreciate that.
- He's 80.
Who the fuck is asking the guy to throw a ball?
- It's a sexy guy right there, though.
- Right, okay.
Well, thank you very much.
- Yeah, I figured you would.
- That's a great gift.
- By the way, you know how much that's worth today?
- That's probably worth 50 bucks.
- It's worth a couple hundred dollars.
- Really?
- No, that's the point that a Fauci baseball cart
is worth a couple hundred dollars.
- Whew.
- But I think it just went up after he became sexy.
- Well, the sexiest man in America.
The sexiest, right?
- Wow.
- Yeah.
- Whoa, it's worth a thousand dollars.
- All right, it just went up a little.
- Holy shit.
- This is on eBay.
- It just went up right there, so.
- Oh, well, that's what someone's asking.
- But there's not a lot of them, so.
- No, no, no.
- Thank you very much.
- Today, his street credit for his baseball card
just went up with Fauci.
But we'll see what's gonna happen there.
- Yeah.
Who the fuck is collecting cards?
- Oh, dude, are you kidding me?
- Do you know there's a UFC,
I have a UFC card that's like worth money?
- I have Max Holloway's rookie card.
- How much is it worth?
- I haven't looked, but I mean,
the card game has exploded in the last two years.
- Are you following it at all or no?
- No, I don't have time for that shit.
- Wait, you're not following at all
what's going on with the card game.
- No.
- Okay, can I shock you with some numbers
if that's okay with you?
- Please.
- Okay, what do you think is the value
of the most expensive card in the world today?
Just throw a number out.
- Does Babe Ruth have a card?
- Babe Ruth's got a card, but it's not the most expensive.
- Really?
Jackie Robinson?
- He's got a card, but it's probably not
in the top 1,000 of the most expensive.
- Oh, boy.
- Yeah.
- Well, I'm out of guesses.
- Mickey Mantle has a card.
- Okay, Mickey Mantle.
- Okay.
- PSA 10 1952 Topps rookie card.
There's only three of them.
- Let me guess.
- Please.
- 20 million bucks.
- 20 million bucks.
- Really?
- That's actually the number.
- Really?
- So you do follow cards.
- No, I just take a guess.
- Dude, that's like you're on the dot, it's 20 million bucks.
- I'm good at that.
- The guy who bought it in 1998,
the owner of the Diamondbacks paid 104 for it in '98.
- Whoa.
104 to 20, okay today.
- That's a big jump.
- A Luka credit card, a Luka rookie card two days after his birthday at 22
years old sold
for 5.2 million.
- That's a basketball player, Joe.
- Yeah.
Luka Doncic.
He's a great basketball player.
- I was gonna ask.
Thank you.
- You don't follow basketball.
- I don't follow sports.
- I got you, yeah.
- I'm a sports commentator who doesn't follow sports.
- Dude, you got a baseball, you got a card as well.
You got a card.
You got a card with the--
- I know there's a UFC card.
- There is.
- I think it's worth some money.
- Yeah.
- Of course it is.
- A couple grand.
- Yeah.
You got a card.
The card industry today is booming.
There's a few guys that are doing it the right way.
- Card business.
- Private equity business got into it.
They got into it.
So Jordan's rookie cards were selling for like 25,000 bucks a few years ago.
And once these, there's only 330 of those PSA 10 rookie cards,
these guys got into it.
Next thing you know, it jumped to a couple of them sold for $700,000.
- Couldn't you fake that?
Couldn't you fake a card?
- Well, the best thing about the card game that changed is there's a grading
service called PSA.
So PSA, that's based out of Newport, they don't even, they're not even taking
any new cards right now because they can't.
It takes 12 months for you to get graded.
They're that busy right now.
No joke.
And it costs like 50 bucks, 40 bucks, 100 bucks to get cards graded, depending
on the quality of it.
You send it to them.
They look at it.
And then based on that, like you see this year that says the PSA stamp, they
give it a score.
There's a VIN number to it.
And then there's a, not a VIN number, but a serial number to it.
And then this has got a value.
Okay.
- Wow.
- So PSA changed the game.
Beckett grading service changed the game.
