Sportscard Gold Rush! Millions Offered if You Pull One of These Rare Cards!

The Klondike Gold Rush started in the late 1800's. Miners turned their attention to Alaska looking for gold. These were dangerous times for miners who faced the elements of weather, loss of animals, and crime.

The dangers did not stop 100,000 hopefuls looking to find gold in Alaska.

A modern-day gold rush taking place in the sports card industry. You can become a millionaire without risking your life on a snowy mountain in Alaska. Heck, you can become a millionaire without leaving the confines of your residence.

Retail outlets and hobby influencers are putting exorbitant bounties on rare sports cards. It is quite simple, if you open a pack of cards containing one of the cards with the bounty being offered, you can become a millionaire.

Sounds easy, right? It is not that easy, the odds at pulling the bounty cards can be one in millions. Packs containing the bounty cards can cost north of $20.

Paying $20 for a pack of sports cards with a chance to become a millionaire is a better proposition than risking your life on a mountain.

There is a print run of 588,035 cards and the cost per card is $11.99. One lucky collector may be calling Burns in the next few days looking to cash in.

Seven-figure bounties are not just limited to sports cards. Dave and Adam's Card World issued a $1 million bounty for a one-of-one card Magic the Gathering Lord of the Rings card.
