A lucky Call of Duty fan has made an awesome find at a thrift store, which long-term fans of the franchise will definitely be able to appreciate. The Call of Duty series continues to dominate pop culture, and this latest thrift store find is an awesome example of what fans can find if they keep their eyes open out there.
The Call of Duty franchise remains a gaming phenomenon. Year after year, Activision has released a new game in the series, with annual launches beginning all the way back in 2005 with Call of Duty 2. When it comes to quality, there certainly have been peaks and troughs, although the level of consistency remains a staggering achievement. Gamers keep coming back for more, with Call of Duty sitting comfortably among the best-selling video game franchises of all time. There are no signs of fatigue either, with Call of Duty doing a terrific job of adapting to the times to keep gamers interested, time after time again.
10 Call Of Duty Games With The Best Zombies Modes
Call of Duty games have a special way of bringing soldiers and zombies together, and this list contains some of the best moments between them.
Redditor SEND_ME_UR_CARS shared their awesome thrift store find online: a copy of the original Call of Duty developed by Infinity Ward on PC, signed by developers from the Level Design, Animation, and Gameplay Scripting teams who worked on the game. There's no doubt that the copy is a little beaten up, but the signatures make this such a unique collector's item that would be difficult to pass up. It didn't exactly break the bank for this gamer too, who claimed they "had to grab it for the couple bucks it was selling for."
Call of Duty Fan Finds Awesome Series Relic in Thrift Store
One user in the thread had a hard time believing anyone could bring themselves to donate such a unique piece, saying, "Hang onto it and in the future this could be worth a helluva lot." Certainly, older titles selling for high figures is not a new phenomenon - just recently, several unopened NES games sold for ridiculous prices online. Now, the condition may hurt this, and Call of Duty isn't quite as old at 21 years of age, but it would still be interesting to see if this signed copy could pick up any value in the future.
Yearly Call of Duty games arrive like clockwork, and 2024 is set to be no different. Activision recently revealed Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, and confirmed that more of the title will be shown after the Xbox June Showcase concludes on June 9. Treyarch's Black Ops series has always proved to be a big hit with gamers, so it makes sense that it is being revisited for another iteration, with the last one being 2020's Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.
