Here's How A $13 GameStop Purchase Turned Into a $115K Bitcoin Jackpot - Benzinga. View article details on hiswai:

Summary

A GameStop customer discovered a Bitcoin worth approximately $115,000 in a $13 trading card pack from Cardsmith's Currency series, creating an extraordinary 865,000% return on investment.

This remarkable find occurred when an Arizona-based collector purchased a pack of cryptocurrency-themed trading cards from GameStop and found a redemption code for one full Bitcoin. The collector, honoring a previous Reddit pledge, donated half the value to charity while keeping 0.5 BTC. Cardsmith's Currency cards feature various cryptocurrency redemptions including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Dogecoin, with the highest value offerings being 1 BTC or 1 ETH.

  • The odds of finding a crypto redemption card are 1 in 192 packs, making this discovery exceptionally rare
  • At least three full Bitcoin redemptions have been reported from Cardsmith's cards in the past year
  • Card packs cost between $13-$50 depending on bundle size, available through GameStop and online retailers
  • The company's SPACE Series still contains unredeemed Bitcoin cards despite Series 4 being sold out
