After seven seasons in the NLF Las Vegas Raiders linebacker Blake Martinez has retired from professional football to focus on family and his future passions — and one of those passions is selling and trading Pokémon cards. This news comes just weeks after Martinez cashed out on a super rare Pokémon Illustrator card. His version, nicknamed “The Swirllustrator,” features two swirls on the artwork, making the already-rare card even more unique.
