As he gets ready to take on Dan Hooker at UFC 313, Justin Gaethje found a slick way to attract fans to his OnlyFans account. But the former BMF champion won’t be engaging in the lewd stuff that the social media platform is infamous for. Instead, he’s planned an auction. ‘The Highlight’ has selected some signed collectors’ goods. 

Taking to his Instagram account, ‘The Highlight’ shared a video where he showed a glimpse of 5 signed trading cards. And of course, they were all Justin Gaethje cards. He said, “We have our first live auction on OnlyFans. It’s $5 to enter. 5 people are gonna get signed trading cards.” Going on to invite the netizens to subscribe to his OF account, Gaethje revealed how exactly was he planning on doing the auction. He continued, “These 5 cards, as we get close to the fight, March 8th, we’ll do giveaways, I think every week. It’s my plan. Not giveaways, it’s auction. So boom! Let’s do it!”

In the caption, Gaethje wrote, “Always grateful for all the love and support on this crazy ride.” Those exact same cards are available for $35+ on eBay. But when it comes to Sportsmemorabilia, the site has been selling signed Justin Gaethje cards for more than $192.99. Needless to say, the ones who get their hands on the cards at the auction can make a huge fortune reselling them online. 

But Justin Gaethje didn’t really receive the kind of response he wanted from the social media community. While ‘The Highlight’ was looking for a way to earn some extra cash and promote himself on OF, the fight fans began bashing the lightweight contender and advised him against it. Let’s see what the fans had to say.

Fight fans can’t side with Justin Gaethje in his plans to auction his signed trading cards

Most of the fight fans were upset that Gaethje had to resort to auctioning trading cards on OF. There were many who considered him the greatest fighter of all time and didn’t like him auctioning collectibles. One fan wrote, “Gaethje stop this sh– you are the goat.” Meanwhile, another fan commented, “Why i feel sad that these legends have to do this stuff, maybe i am wrong. But i feel that way.” One more fan added, “He could sign a bunch of cheap regular cards of his and make the year of any real MMA fan of his kind of sucks he is auctioning them off. But I get it get your money.”

However, those who liked to collect the trading cards were furious at Gaethje for another reason. While showing the items in the auction, he was slightly bending the cards, which lowered their value a bit. One netizen wrote, “Bros bending the cards things are smoked.” Another comment suggested, “Try not bending em bro lol.” One more fan pointed out, “Broo the condition of the card is everything (laughing emoji).” 

But the comments section also invited people with a few more suggestions. One of them advised ‘The Highlight’ a way to preserve the cards. The comment read, “Bro throw some sleeves on them cards.” Another fan had an idea to enhance the value of the cards. He wrote, “You should number them on the back! That’d be rad.”
