Let customers speak for us
Just got my hands on an experience box! And now I understand why its called that. This has been one incredible experience ripping the packs and going through all the extra collectibles inside. Best trading cards ever! Hands down..
These cards are on a level I have never seen before. The quality and amount of hits you get in one pack beats most hobby boxes I have ever opened. I am a collector for life!
I just got a new hobby box of series 4 "the simulation" and all i can say is wow!! These cards are absolutely next level. The quality, variety, and scarcity makes opening these packs up so much fun. After experiencing this, im definitely making my next move to get an experience box for sure!

These Genesis packs are great. I give them away to anyone that purchases something from me or anyone that I make a trade with. I even give them out on Halloween. I recently ordered another box as my inventory was running low. The company hooked it up with additional packs and a few extra goodies as well. I haven’t opened my Boxtopper yet but plan to do so soon. Fingers crossed, we pull a 1/1. Get your box today!
These cards have helped get friends and family intrigued and educated on Bitcoin. These are an amazing way to break the ice and discuss Bitcoin. They have helped me educate and open eyes in awe telling stories with art and knowledge. Greatest thing out of the bear market! BTCTC!
As someone who got caught up in S3 and aped in hardcore, I have fallen in love with this movement. The educational aspect is great for kids, who also love the art. The design and beauty of these cards is breathtaking. I can’t wait for S4!
Genesis Packs are one of the best ways to onboard new people to Bitcoin. These educational starter packs are a great way to share the beautiful artwork BTCTC has created with a powerful message to guide people to the best monetary network in history.
I joined the community in February 2025 after discovering Bitcoin art wrapped into one of the highest quality trading card collectibles out there. The transparency in the print runs is unmatched and every series delivers a real chase in every pack. The experience feels premium, intentional, and crafted for collectors who appreciate rarity and culture.
If you want a trading card chase of the highest caliber and a community driven by culture and the Spirit of Satoshi, you are in the right place.
These big cases have a 94? 96%? chances of hitting a 21 club (/21!). The odds are like nothing seen anywhere else in the hobby... and the value of the cards inside easily suprass that of the case without a question. Card quality is amazing and the chase with parallels is wild - hands down the best chase out there. Plus, these can be graded with TAG or PSA!
Go Big or Go Home! When you buy a Case of Series 3 Warriors vs Villains you know what the Odds are of Hitting a Big Chase Card! This is the only company in the trading card hobby that is transparent with showing the odds and the hit list of their packs, boxes and cases. I was lucky enough to hit a 1/1 card in Series 3 and it's absolutely stunning! These cards are next level and keep me coming back for more.
The Spirit of Satoshi collaborative set captures the Matrix theme and brings it to life in a physical trading card set! As a big fan of the Matrix, this set immediately captured my attention. It combines the Matrix theme with Bitcoin lore, Bitcoin influencers, and artists. It's a cool concept that is made better by it's limited print run which keeps it scarce which is important to me as a collector.
As my first box from BTCTC, I eased in with a Spirit of Satoshi box and thought these are really high quality cards! They have three rarities (base, holofoil, and chase) and each one is beautiful.
After my first box purchased back in March or so, I have comeback 3 more times for additionally boxes, including earlier today when I had to have one more! Keep making amazing cards for your collectors!
As someone who ordered a Crab bundle, and numerous cases, this series was perfection in a pack. All cards and parallels are exquisite to behold and even the base cards are beautiful. Great job by the team and Based Trading Cards for creating a collector out of someone who just learned about these cards earlier this year. S3 was perfection, so I don’t have works for what I expect form Series 4
Absolutely Stunning Cards! I bought the S3 Warriors vs Villains Crab Bundle which was the first set of trading cards I've purchased in over 30 years. When I opened the boxes and ripped the packs, I was blown away at the stunning art and print quality of the cards. These cards were the first collectible that helped connect my old school love of trading cards with my new school love of Bitcoin. I've been hooked on Based Trading Cards ever since!
I met the Based Trading card team and saw the cards for the first time in Vegas at the Bitcoin Conference. I was immediately infatuated with the artwork but what really has kept me hooked was the community and the great people I've met that are like minded as well. Scarce amazing art paired with an awesome community of collectors has made me a fan for life!
Questions & Answers
What are my real odds right now?
1 in 420. The Golden Key hasn't been found yet — it's sitting in one of the remaining boxes. Unlike a lottery, the universe of tickets is fixed. Every box you buy genuinely improves your odds.
What do I get if I don't pull the Golden Key?
Premium Golden Key chase cards you can only find in the golden key packs. Chase the many hits from /150s to 1/1s and a chance to pull one of the two first ever Satoshi’s heroes (No Parallel) 1/1s worldwide and carry real secondary market value. A 1/1 printing plate plus so many more LE handcrafted collectibles. The box is worth collecting regardless of the sweepstakes.
What's physically inside the box?
A Series 4 Hobby box, a Golden Key pack (1 per 420 boxes globally), an experience handbook, 1/1 printing plate, binder, Based Car figurine, deck boxes, LE holographic poster, scissors, Golden Key medallion, card maps. Every item is handcrafted and limited to 420 — the Rolex of trading cards.
Do I need to buy a box to enter?
No. US residents can enter for free by mailing a 3x5 card with their name, address, phone number, date of birth, and email to: ASC/BTC Request, 300 State St. Ste 402, Rochester, NY 14614. One entry per envelope. Full details in the official Terms & Conditions.
How do I pay with Bitcoin or USDC?
Select Bitcoin or USDC at checkout. Payment is processed directly — no third-party conversion, no extra fees. Shop Pay installments are also available if you prefer 4 payments of $845.15 CAD at 0% interest.
Are Satoshi Hero Cards worth anything on their own?
Yes. Only 2 exist worldwide — one Heroes, one Villain. They're the foundation cards for Based Trading Cards' mainstream expansion and carry significant independent secondary market value. Pulling one is a win on its own terms.
Is worldwide shipping available?
Yes, the box ships worldwide. However, the Golden Key sweepstakes are open to US residents only. International customers are welcome to purchase and collect the cards — but are not eligible to claim the Grand Prize.
When does this end?
The Golden Key must be claimed by November 1, 2026. After that the prize goes unawarded permanently.
Are there any extra costs if I win the car?
Yes, and it's worth knowing upfront. You're responsible for title, license, registration, insurance, taxes, and any travel to collect the vehicle. The prize value is also taxable income — you'll receive an IRS 1099 form. If you'd rather avoid that complexity, the $45,000 cash or Bitcoin option exists.
How Do I Complete My Bitcoin Payment?
After placing your order, click Complete Payment to open the BTCPay invoice or QR code. If the button does not appear, refresh the page once or try checkout again using a private/incognito window in a different browser without VPNs, wallet extensions, or ad blockers enabled. Bitcoin on-chain payments may stay pending until network confirmation, while Lightning payments are usually faster. If the invoice expires, simply restart checkout. If you paid but did not receive confirmation, contact us with your order number, payment time, and transaction ID if available.
