While millions were watching the controversial Oscars telecast, Drake teamed up with Goldin Auctions' Ken Goldin and pulled six rare Michael Jordan rookie cards.
The 35-year-old rapper took part in an Instagram Live session with the 55-year-old Goldin, one of the most trusted names in sports collectibles, to rip open a sealed box of 1986-1987 Fleer basketball cards, a set which contains Michael Jordan's coveted rookie card.
All told, Drake pulled six Jordan cards - three of the rookie cards and three of the less-valuable sticker cards, that, if they receive high grades, could be worth upwards of $1 million total, or more.
