Cards Against Humanity Diamond Potatoes Resell for $400+

What makes something truly valuable? Hard work and time invested? Provenance? Rarity? Greater men than us have struggled with this question. Cards Against Humanity has come up with an answer, and it’s so stupid it’s brilliant.

Meet the Diamond Potato. If the name isn’t clear enough, allow us to explain. These are potatoes (still following?), with a bunch of diamonds slapped onto them. How’s that for value?

Accord to CAH, each Diamond Potato has been encrusted entrusted with two carats of lab-grown VVS-clarity diamonds. Real diamonds, we should add, implanted in real Yukon Gold potatoes.

Why? Because it’s funny, at least theoretically. Cards Against Humanity sold their Diamond Potatoes for the as-seen-on-TV price of $69.99 on Black Friday. “Thousands” were made, and they were sold out in under an hour.

Cards Against Humanity values the diamonds in these potatoes at over $1,000. We don’t know what kind of bulk deal they might have got, but the diamonds themselves are all individually cut and set in metal prongs.

Which is a long way of saying they probably lost money doing this. They admit as much in their F.A.Q., but they’re also a company known for launching expensive jokes for Black Friday. These potatoes were just a drop in the bucket of their yearly shitposting budget.

Fortunately, Cards Against Humanity was able to recoup at least a little of that investment, because all of their Diamond Potatoes sold fast. Ahead of the sale, eBay was full of presale listings asking for hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars for one.

Now CAH Diamond Potatoes are reselling for around $400. Even after Black Friday, the majority of these sales are for presales, but we have seen confirmed orders flip for that much.

Cards Against Humanity has stated the Diamond Potato will ship by Christmas, probably. There’s a good chance many buyers will be waiting to get their Potato in the mail, and hawking the diamonds separately.

Either way, this was an opportunity for pretty much anyone to turn a triple digit profit with minimal effort. All you needed to do was enter the queue after it opened and keep your fingers crossed.
