"Of course, you've got to," Gronkowski told People. "You've got to see your value on the streets because if you're pulling cards and ripping decks, you've gotta know your value. That's what it's all about. I collected cards as a kid, especially hockey cards and baseball cards, and now I'll be back at the National with eBay this year, but this time it's for the first ever Gronk Geeks Out eBay livestream on August 1st in Chicago."
The former NFL star appears to be really into trading cards. Just check out what Gronkowski had to say in his own words.
Former NFL Star Talks Trading Cards
"Last year, I only got to talk about the player and the significance that that player has to my life, if there was any. If it was someone that I played with, I got to tell a story. But now this year, we're looking for the best cards in the market. We're looking for the best rips that you can possibly have. We're looking for one-of-ones," he says.
The former NFL star says that he enjoys trading cards and get "super excited." Gronkowski loves when he comes across one of his former teammates' cards.
"The trading card industry has caught my attention big time," he said. "In the back of my mind, I know I can always autograph it and bring the value up with the card, so whenever I see Julian, I'm like, go sign this card real quick so the value goes up. It's always cool to pull others, but when you can get your teammates, it's cooler when you know somebody personally."
However, there is one trading card that Gronk still hasn't found. He said, "A numbered Michael Jordan basketball card. That's a dream pull. I don't know how many are out there now, but that's a dream pull right there."
