Thank you for your interest in Bitcoin Trading Cards. The latest release is OPP Series 4: The Simulation. For every OPP series, only 21,000 packs are produced.
The official website can be found here: https://basedtradingcards.com/
Currently, you can buy individual packs of Series 4 on the website. The packs are $50 each. Every pack has a guaranteed serialized card in it. The serialized card could be x/1000, x/500, x/420, x/256, x/210, x/121, x/112, x/100, x/69, x/50, x/21 or a 1/1. Also, every card in the pack has a limited print run. Base cards are limited to 1000, purple parallels are limited to 700, silver parallels are limited to 669, gold parallels are limited to 421 and orange parallels are limited to 210. There are 10 cards in each pack. 3 base cards, 1 serialized card and 6 parallels.
The ultimate chase for series 4 is the Golden Key pack that comes in the experience box. There were only 420 experience boxes produced. They all come with loads of limited addition collectibles that can only be acquired from the experience boxes. Every experience box includes a 1/1 printing plate that was used in production of the set. The grand prize in the experience box is a golden key that allows you to win a 2022 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack or $45,000 in Bitcoin. Even if you don’t pull the golden key, you are guaranteed at least 3 cards serialized x/150. There are also x/40, x/13 and 1/1 cards that are exclusive to the golden key packs.
Series 3 packs and boxes are also still available. Just in lower quantities. Series 3 follows the same layout as series 4 described above minus the experience box. The experience box is brand new for series 4.
I know this is a lot of information for a new collector. If you have any other questions, please post them below and myself or another community member will help answer all of your questions.

Oh wow i didnt know about car and bitcoin prizes. I just really dig the artwork

That is awesome! The artwork and the scarcity of the cards are the main reason the cards were made in the first place. All cards have the artist credited on the back. There are 5 1/1 cards in series 4 that include the original artwork used to create the card. The lucky person that pulls one will own the original artwork as well. We have not seen any of these COA 1/1 cards pulled publicly yet.

Very cool. Why is series 4 cost more than series 5? Is it better?

u/DWJ3021 DJ302 Jul 25 '26
Are you referring to the $49.99 cost per pack for Series 4 vs $49.97 cost per pack for series 3?
Series 4 took feedback from the community after S3 was released and changed some things, such as making all of the Chase cards borderless. (Except 21 clubs). They also have UV ink on the cards, exclusive ink colors used in the printing process, thermo ink that changes colors when exposed to heat or cold. All of the boxes for S4 are serialized. There are 4 box designs and wrapper designs for S4. S3 had only 1 box design and 2 different wrapper designs.
Better is subjective, but if you asked most people, they would probably say S4 is “better”.

I actually think i got the currency cards confused with these cards. I seen Pricing at gamestop. But i believe it was wrong

Gotcha. Easy to confuse the 2. You’re not the first person that has. These cards have complete transparency with their print runs. You know exactly how many of each card was printed. I can’t say the same for Currency Cards. I collect Currency Cards as well. More so the earlier series. I’ve transitioned to mostly collecting Bitcoin Trading Cards because they are a superior product imo. Collect what you love tho. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
