Over the weekend, widely-known grading company Beckett announced that a customer (who wants to remain anonymous) from Delaware, Ohio pulled the highly-coveted Kris Bryant Bowman Chrome Superfractor autograph and one of Neuhart Card store owners hopped on a plane, traveled to Dallas and hand delivered the card to Beckett's official grading team.

"The customer got it in his head that he wanted to pull this Bryant super and he was about 50 cases into Bowman Chrome," Brian Rideout of Neuhart Cards said.

Because he was buying 2014 Bowman Chrome since first release, a case of hobby boxes (12 count) would run him anywhere from $600 per case at first to up over $1,000 presently, but that's not counting Bowman Chrome Jumbo cases (more cards in each pack), which currently run upwards of $1,400 per case.  The Bryant was pulled out of a case of jumbos.

Why is it so coveted?

Aside from Bryant being one of the top prospects in the game and insane 2015 spring training production, the card is serial numbered 1/1 with a one-of-a-kind gold surface design. Plus, Topps-Bowman's Chrome autographs are recognized within the hobby as a baseball player's true rookie card.

Now, the store owner is selling the monster on behalf of the customer on eBay for ... $90,000.
