GameStop's $68,000 Charizard Pokémon card saga is wild

When GameStop announced that it would begin selling $5,000 presorted packs of Pokémon cards, skeptics understandably wondered who in their right mind would buy them. Surely no one would throw away money to the Funko Pop retailer just to get a 0.4% chance to score a rare Pokémon card, right? It turns out, not only are GameStop customers willing to gamble thousands of dollars for Pokémon cards, but people are also reportedly hitting the jackpot.
