Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant may have one of the most unique rookie cards in the NBA. While fans initially noticed that Morant's card included both Young Dolph and Key Glock, a new observation has been going viral, as Sean and Leigh Ann Touhy can also be seen in the background.

The Touhy family have been in the news the last several days, as "The Blind Side" parents were accused of striking a deal that paid them and their children millions of dollars while Michael Oher - the former Baltimore Ravens lineman who the story was based on, received nothing.

A report from ESPN's Michael A. Fletcher about the situation read the following:

"The 14-page petition, filed in Shelby County, Tennessee, probate court, alleges that Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy, who took Oher into their home as a high school student, never adopted him. Instead, less than three months after Oher turned 18 in 2004, the petition says, the couple tricked him into signing a document making them his conservators, which gave them legal authority to make business deals in his name."

While this is not a great development for the Touhy family, their inclusion on Morant's rookie card has reportedly led to the collectible tripling in price. Already a sought after piece of memorabilia, the card now seems to be in even higher demand.
