Gamestonk
It landed while the story was still recent.
Topps sold the set on Topps.com for a 7 day window beginning January 29, 2021. A single set cost $19.99, while a lot of 10 went for $179.99, and the release was sold as a 12 card set made up of 6 new pieces presented in A and B versions. Topps also offered free shipping with the SmartPost option.
The theme was the headline itself, with the sales pitch nodding to GameStop, Reddit and stock market winners, and the cards brought in kids such as Reddit Remy and Electric Elon. The set’s total print run was later disclosed as 13,075 sets. This sales figure broke all previous online GPK sales records.
Collectors also had a digital follow up to watch for, since Topps later brought Gamestonk to the WAX blockchain as a 3 card pack release sold for the equivalent of $10 in WAX. That version used 5,000 packs, with base, Prismatic, Sketch, Raw, Gold and Signature forms in the mix, and it included 2 new pieces of art by Lars Kommienezuspadt, colored by Adam Mathison-Sward. The digital set was based on the physical Gamestonk set sold recently.
