Somebody in Bikini Bottom really, really, really loves Superfractors.

A quick look at eBay -- and only eBay -- shows nearly 40 completed auctions for those golden 1/1s from 2025 Topps Chrome SpongeBob SquarePants and the prices would pay for many a Krabby Patty.

How much? Well, the top card sold for a cool $50,000 -- and it's not alone. And, well, that one might not even be the biggest card of the bunch from the recent Topps release.

Keep reading for a rundown of the cardboard monsters living in pineapples boxes of Chrome under the sea.

Take a minute and answer some hot-take questions and make some NFL picks -- and if you're at the top of the mountain when it's all over then you get some free cards.

It's that simple.

YourDozen.com is back with more free cardboard up for grabs to one lucky winner -- this time it's for Sunday NFL action as well as some Majority Rules questions. Those questions are simple -- whatever gets the most votes is the winning answer -- and we've sprinkled in those along with the traditional picks. The end result is still the same -- whomever has the most correct answers once the dust settles wins free cards.

You have until 1 p.m. on Sunday to get your picks in. (Do it now -- one of the tiebreakers is who entered first.) The prize remains a mystery item.

>>> CLICK HERE TO ENTER <<< 

Did you get in on last week's action? Check the leaderboard and contact fish@blowoutcards.com to claim your prize if you're the winner.

How does it work? It's short and simple. Register and you'll get a dozen questions where your answers will be compiled and compared to others. Whomever gaets the most correct gets the prize -- or at least a shot at it if there's a tie.

The goal with YourDozen.com? Have a little fun and get free stuff into some of your hands.

For years now, autographed books coming direct from the publishers -- or direct from the authors themselves -- have been an affordable way to collect ink from notable names in all realms of pop culture.

It's not a perfect system with stamped autos, fakes and autopens sometimes in the mix -- a problem for publishers to catch as they are not authenticators -- but thanks to dedicated collectors on the Blowout Cards Forum and elsewhere, those problems often get caught and fixed ... or at least become well-known enough to avoid if it's an issue that goes uncorrected.

Getting ink in-person is always best -- book tours still happen, of course -- but landing autographed editions from publishers, online sellers or celebs themselves via their websites or other appearances are common.

Our latest subject and autograph in this ongoing series? A mystery box buy that yielded CrossFit standout Brooke Wells.
