The Mariners distributed Jimothy cards to the first 20,000 fans at the stadium to celebrate the pudgy, viral raccoon that captivated Seattle residents this summer. While most attendees received standard versions, Abby discovered the singular gold variant hidden in her pack. The discovery sparked immediate interest, with stadium staff and fellow fans attempting to purchase the card on the spot, including a request to deliver it to pitcher George Kirby.
Abby and her family declined those offers, opting to list the rare collectible on eBay instead. The auction drew over 100 bids before closing at the final price. Her mother, Jessie Nino, confirmed that the entire proceeds from the sale are earmarked for the teenager's college fund.
