On March 9, the day before Adebayor’s record-breaking game, eBay sales confirmation tool Terapeak showed that only 39 Adebayor-related items were sold on the platform, with an average price of $15.15. On March 10, that number jumped, with 5,125 items selling for an average price of $43.84.
The owner of the most expensive Adebayor card in public auction history, when his Black Prizm rookie card 1/1 sold for $11,655.55 in 2024, he reacted quickly to the game, listing the card on eBay for the high bid (or highest bid) of $1,000,000.
