\u201cOh my god, that thing is beautiful\u2026I\u2019m nervous,\u201d Flagg said before suggesting that whoever pulls the card should keep it.<\/p>\n
\u201cHold on to it, hold on to it,\u201d he said. \u201cI think it will gain in value as I go on through my career, so it will be a good piece to hang on to.\u201d<\/p>\n
