Blake Martinez Retires After Selling Rare $600K Pokemon Card?

There’s nothing like timing in life. The right timing will completely change the course of your life, and it seems like for former NFL LB Blake Martinez that is exactly what happened to his NFL career.

Allegedly, just two weeks ago he managed to sell a rare Pokemon card for over $600,000. Blake then retired from the NFL after the sale. He was due $1 million on his Raiders contract, but there’s nothing like getting money without getting hit by 300 lb. offensive linemen.

Good luck to him.
