You've probably seen the highlight reel of Scooter Gennett's four-homer, 10-RBI game for the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday night but you may not realize how rare the feat is -- or how rare his baseball cards might be.

He's just the 17th player ever to hit four homers in a game -- nobody has ever hit five -- and he's the first in the rich history of the Reds to do it. The last? Texas Rangers slugger Josh Hamilton back in 2012.

One of those cards is card No. 201 of Connor McDavid. This card was made into reality by a collector buying enough e-Packs to land five digital versions of the card and then upgrading to post on the site. There are 50 Young Guns each landing one in every four packs so you can do the math. (Young Guns are eligible to immediately be made physical as regular base cards without stacking just like inserts pulled.)

Now, the real question ... how much?
