this piece Fifa 14 Ultimate Team Coins of plastic is worth today

“For what this piece Fifa 14 Ultimate Team Coins of plastic is worth today I could virtually have bought an apartment a few years ago. Just a shame it can’t get me a World Cup seat,” Blumberg told AFP.

Blumberg bought his ticket about 20 years ago. “I had to look lively - they don’t come on the market very often. People who have them generally pass them down to their sons.” He estimates it's worth about US$40,000.

But it won't get him into any of the seven games at the Maracana after Fifa decided that rules aren't rules. Authorities in Rio paid the special ticket holders around US$2,250 in compensation. Some holders threatened legal action, but Blumberg is remaining philosophical.

“This card means I own my little piece of the Maracana,” he said. “When people ask me, ’what’s your hobby?’ www.proutcoins.com/fifa-14-coins I say: ’I go to see matches and concerts at the Maracana'."
