Bitcoin Worth $63,000 Pulled In $33 Pack Of Trading Cards At GameStop: ‘Mind-Boggling’ Story Goes Viral, Highlights Crypto Redemption Card
Sep 23, 2024 at 03:01 am
With a change in its business practices, GameStop Corporation (NYSE:GME) allows CEO Ryan Cohen the ability to buy and sell stocks and cryptocurrency with the company's cash.
A customer at GameStop (NYSE:GME) recently purchased a pack of trading cards for $33 and ended up pulling a card that can be redeemed for 1 Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), currently valued at around $63,000.
The customer shared their findings in a post on Reddit, with the action now going viral thanks to GameStop tweeting about the unique story.
“A GameStop customer found 1 Bitcoin in a trading card pack,” GameStop tweeted.
According to the Reddit post, the user said they thought the unscratched redemption card “looked better in the binder.”
Later upon scratching off the card, the card owner thought the redemption card was good for a part of a whole Bitcoin before realizing that it was for 1 BTC.
“This is mind boggling to me honestly,” the owner said.
The user did admit to have previously buying and opening 10 to 12 boxes of the Cardsmiths Currency Series 1 trading cards.
The price of Bitcoin was around $16,500 when the series 1 currency trading card set was released, as reported by Cllct.
Another GameStop purchaser also found a Bitcoin redemption card back in March, but the number of unredeemed full Bitcoin cards could be 0 or 1 now, according to the report.
The company behind the Cardsmiths Currency Trading Cards said the set offered the “industry-first cryptocurrency redemption program.”
Series 1 of the set is believed to have had five Bitcoin redemption cards. The company’s CEO said earlier this year that there were only a couple unredeemed BTC cards according to a user on the Reddit thread, which could suggest that the two pulled at GameStop were the last ones.
