Man Finds $1 Million Worth of Yu-Gi-Oh Cards in a Dumpster

For the past month the story of a man who discovered almost a million dollars worth of rare trading cards in a Texas dumpster has enthralled a niche subset of the Yu-Gi-Oh trading card game community. At the end of March, a man began to sell massive amounts of rare Yu-Gi-Oh cards online. He claimed he’d found them in the trash, but people in the community worried he’d stolen them. His posts on Facebook, TikTok, and eBay became erratic. He fought with people in the comments and said he’d made tens of thousands of dollars selling cards. Then his mom showed up on Facebook to defend him.
