GRAPEVINE, Texas - GameStop Corp. (NYSE:GME) announced the public launch of Power Packs, a digital trading card platform, beginning April 15, 2026 at powerpacks.com, according to a company press release. The $10.5 billion market cap retailer holds more cash than debt on its balance sheet, providing financial flexibility for new ventures.

The platform allows collectors to purchase digital packs that unlock physical PSA-graded trading cards. Cards are stored in the PSA Vault and can be sold back, shipped to customers, or added to collections.

At launch, Power Packs offers Pokémon, Football, Basketball, and Baseball categories. Packs are priced from $25 to $2,500. GameStop shares are up 16.5% year-to-date, though InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock is currently overvalued relative to its Fair Value. Investors can access detailed valuation metrics and 6 additional ProTips on the platform.
