1 BTC Project - PKMN TCG Singles Arb.

For those who have been with me since the beginning (I assume that's no one) or any of you that have scrolled back to read my earliest post (I also assume thats no one), you will know that it was Magic The Gathering that got me into Bitcoin. 

That doesn't seem to track. How could Magic the Gathering lead to Bitcoin?

Here is the the string of events. At the beginning of Covid I was gifted a collection of MTG cards from the 90s. I went to Ebay to start to liquidate them as some were worth a good amount of money.

At the time Ebay would pay out on into Paypal accounts. So now I had a good chunk of money stuck in a Paypal account. Thats when I found PaxFul a lowfi bitcoin trading platform that allowed me to pay with my PayPal. The rest as they say is History.

Fast forward 3 and a half years and the 1BTC project continues. I am still stacking Bitcoin, and I am still selling on Ebay, and I have found a new infinite money glitch.

I recently sold short a Pokemon card. it was a Nuzleaf from the Evolving Skies set. It wasn't graded, it wasn't much of anything. The card is such an afterthought that I gave it away to a clients kid and forgot to end the listing (hence the short sale). It is currently valued at $0.10 USD on PriceCharting.com.

This is strange because that website is supposed to track the sales of cards, especially on Ebay, and aggregate the prices. Its most recent sales should but the price of a Nuzleaf much higher.

Back to the main plot.

I sold a Nuzleaf for $1.00 CAD on March 19th, 2026. I charge the shipping back to the buyer.

But you will remember that I sold this card short. I gave this card away. I now had to go and find a new version of the card. Which to my surprise was not too difficult. What was even more surprising was that I was able to buy the card for less money than I sold it for. In other words. I had found a perfect arbitration opportunity. 

I can purchase a product on one market and sell it on another market at a profit. Even better is that I can relist a card that I sold, and only buy it when I get another sale. Its almost perfect. 

The downside, on the sale of the Nuzleaf, I made about $0.08 CAD. Also I don't think a second Nuzleaf enthusiast will be clicking through my Ebay store anytime soon.

So.

Is this method profitable? Technically yes, but practically no.

Is it scalable? Also no.

Is it predictable. 1000% no.

Because no on grinds as weird as me, and this takes almost literally no time out of my life I will be continuing to do this and the proceeds will be flipped immediately into Crypto. 

Anyways, keep building.
