GameStop Corp. (GME) officially launched its new digital trading card platform, Power Packs, on April 15, 2026. The platform, available at powerpacks.com, represents the company's strategic entry into the digital collectibles space, built in partnership with PSA (Professional Sports Authenticator), the world's largest trading card grading company.
The platform allows users to purchase digital packs priced from $25 to $2,500, which they open online in real-time to reveal PSA-graded physical trading cards. At launch, packs are available across four categories: Pokémon, football, basketball, and baseball. The physical cards are immediately stored in the PSA Vault upon being pulled.
A key innovation of Power Packs is the instant liquidity it provides. Once a card is pulled, authenticated, and graded, the owner has three immediate options: sell it back to GameStop instantly, have it shipped to their home, or hold it in their digital inventory. The platform also integrates with eBay via PSA, allowing users to list their cards on the secondary market directly.
This model solves significant friction points in the traditional trading card market, where selling an ungraded card involves a lengthy and costly process of grading, waiting, and navigating secondary markets with fees and counterparty risk. Power Packs eliminates these steps by providing pre-graded, vaulted assets with a known market value.
The launch follows GameStop's Q4 2026 earnings report, where the company posted adjusted earnings per share of $0.49, beating analyst estimates of $0.37. However, revenue of $1.1 billion missed the $1.467 billion consensus and was down 13.9% year-over-year. Adjusted operating income grew to $147.7 million, up from $84.4 million in the prior year's Q4.
On the day of the launch, GME stock was trading at $23.70, up 1.3%, bringing its year-to-date gain to 16.5%. The company carries a market capitalization of approximately $10.5 billion.
