Magic The Gatheringis an expensive game to collect. Between the secondary market growing exponentially every year and several cards locked in the Reserved list, someMagiccards can sell for high prices. But even some highly-collectible newer cards are pulling in some amazing amounts of cash. In a high-end buy/sell/trade group on Facebook, a user is offering a massive sum of money for a very specific card from the newLord of the RingscrossoverMagicset.
According to a screenshot shared to the MTGFinance Reddit group, a collector of the card game named Dan Bock is looking for a very specific card with a pretty specific caveat. to get his hands on thisultra-rareMagic The GatheringLord of the RingsOne Ring card, of which only one has been printed in the whole world, thisMagiccollector has offered $100,000 for not only the card, but the card-opener’s silence.

Dan Bock is a well-known collector ofMagic The Gatheringcards. He is a previous Pro TourMagicplayer, and he is well known across the TCG world as the collector with the most Power Nine cards of any individual or company in the world. The fact that Bock wants the only One Ring card written in the Middle Earth language called Black Speech shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone.
Finding this one-of-kind card will be extremely difficult, however. This single print will be mixed into one of the more-expensive, Collector’s Edition packs of theLotRboosters, and the chance of ending up with it is about 0.0003%. $100,000 is a lot of money for any card, but with the hype around the crossover set mixed with the current climate of the secondary market, it will more than likely end up as one of the most expensive cards in the world, perhaps even more than the record-holding signedBlack Lotus that sold in 2021 for over $500,000.
This severely limited way of printing certain cards is part of some of the ongoingcontroversy pointed atMagic The Gathering’s parent company Hasbro. Not only are analysts and players alike saying that the company is making too many sets, but it is also making too many incredibly limited printings, like the Secret Lair collections, that can make collecting the game too expensive for many fans. This limited-timeLord of the Ringsset will feature several other cards that will have severely limited printing, including only 300 serialized Elven Sol Rings, 700 Dwarven Sol Rings, and 900 Human Sol Rings along with the one serialized One Ring card.
