Twitch streamer Angry Ginge was in a state of disbelief after finding a gold 1 of 1 trading card from a highly sought-after Topps Dynasty box.

Earlier this month, back-to-back world champion Luke Littler said he was introduced to buying football cards by fellow Manchester United fan Angry Ginge, whose real name is Morgan Burtwhistle.

Asked what he would spend his World Darts Championship winnings on, Littler suggested he would use some of the £1 million prize money on his new hobby.

“I’m into football cards at the ­minute so I might have to treat myself to a few boxes," he said. “Panini cards, Topps cards, anything.”

Ginge, meanwhile, has been a collector for some time but this week, the I'm A Celebrity winner pulled arguably his greatest card yet as he became the new owner of a gold 1 of 1 Mohamed Salah card.

It was suggested by someone on the Twitch stream, as well as others in the comments section, that the item is worth £50,000.

Saying that, there is obviously no true value as the Salah card does not exist elsewhere, meaning it has never been sold on the market. Still, it will be worth a serious amount of money to the right buyer.

Here's how fans on social media reacted to Ginge's pull.

One said: "It’s 50k no wonder he’s celebrating," and a second commented: "That’s a crazy card."

A third added: "When Dynasty came out I heard someone wanted it for £100,000."

As well as Salah, Ginge packed a rare 27/99 Lamine Yamal 'Marks of Excellence' card, which is said to be around £3,000.

Last year, card collector Ryan Gordon found a Yamal rookie card that is ­estimated to be worth £300,000. “I couldn’t believe it when I pulled it out of the pack. It’s life-changing," he said, as per The Sun.

Jake Kirkham, from the Majesty Grading Company, reacted to Gordon's pull. “He found it in the very first box he opened," said Kirkham. “It was beginner’s luck. The card is one of one, completely unique.”
