Plot

Spongebob is first seen getting money from "Quincy" who works at the bank Spongebob goes to. He gives Spongebob his money, but Spongebob is very picky on what money to give Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy. SpongeBob is at the comic book and card store. He is there to buy Mermaid Man & Barnacle Boy cards. He opens a pack and finds four cards whom he thinks are valuable but the store clerk tells him they are worthless and that there is one valuable card called the No. 54 card. There are only 5 of them in existence. SpongeBob frantically attempts to buy as much packs as possible to find the card, but is unsuccessful. With only one pack left in the store, SpongeBob reveals that he has no more money. Patrick decides to buy the last pack, which coincidently, ends up containing the No. 54 card. SpongeBob follows Patrick home, trying to protect the card from Patrick's carelessness. (Falling from a construction beam, mud from the bus hitting a mud pile) When they get home, Patrick uses the card to open his house, horrifying Spongebob. Patrick continues to carelessly use the card like to floss his teeth, ect. When Spongebob tells Patrick if he could have it, Patrick asked if he could have it one more day, until sundown. He uses the card to cook burgers and then wipe his face. Spongebob begins crying, and when Patrick asks what is wrong, he says that card was a very rare one, and he just destroyed it. Patrick reveals that he has several other No. 54 cards that were also in the pack he bought and gives the four other cards to Spongebob, who is happy. But then, he has to use one of them because he locked himself out of his house again.

Trivia

This episode is number 19 in Tom Kenny's Top 20 on iTunes. His description says:

"As a collector of weird old stuff - records, comic strips, anything Popeye -I like how this episode gets into the fanatical mindset of hardcore collectors. The desire to possess that 'certain item' and then to keep it in 'mint-plus' condition can take over the mind. And the sight of a non-collector handling 'the grail' improperly ..."

It is revealed Patrick has a landlord in this episode.
How could SpongeBob's wallet have bunnies on it when he's a sea creature and bunnies are mammals?
The title card is the same as Missing Identity and The Frycook Games.
This is the first time Patrick used his barbecue grill. His barbecue grill was first seen in Naughty Nautical Neighbors.
Patrick ran out of napkins, plates, and door-opening tools in this episode.
The music in the title card is the same as Jellyfish Jam, Dying for Pie, Good Ol' Whatshisname, The Splinter, and Giant Squidward
SpongeBob is once again a neat freak in this episode, while Patrick is very dirty and careless about filth.
When Patrick shows SpongeBob the four #54 cards, the second one he's holding doesn't show a giant fist.
Patrick says he doesn't believe in pockets, but in a dream he has in Sleepy Time, he pulls a quarter out of his pocket. Also, in Driven to Tears, he pulls a pack of flashcards out of his pocket and eats them.
Patrick says he has a landlord, but in Home Sweet Pineapple he says he built his home, but then again, he is a simpleton, but it is unknown which tale is true.
The store clerk said there are five No.#54 cards in existence,It's a reference from "Charlie and The Chocolate Factory" there were only five golden tickets.
When Patrick was counting his change, he didn't have the counting book with him, and yet, he counted to six and seven.
This episode has some similarity to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, where Spongebob (Charlie) is searching through card packs (chocolate bars) to find the rare card (golden ticket). Also, Patrick saying "I don't even believe in socks" is a possible reference to Wayside School is Falling Down, where a hobo says "I don't believe in socks".
