Post Malone buys one-of-a-kind Magic: The Gathering Lord of the Rings card

Post Malone, the rapper known for songs such as Sunflower and Psycho, has reportedly purchased a one-of-a-kind card from Magic: The Gathering’s most recent set. The One Ring is an entirely unique card released via The Lord of the Rings themed Magic: The Gathering – Tales of Middle-earth set that launched earlier this year. Though completely useless in an actual deck for the trading card game, The One Ring is worth a significant amount to Magic: The Gathering collectors considering that Wizards of the Coast – the studio responsible for releasing the card game – printed a single copy to thematically reflect the significance of The One Ring within JRR Tolkien’s trilogy of books. The initial search for The One Ring card, which was included within a single Magic: The Gathering – Tales of Middle-earth booster pack, was halted in June after it was found by an anonymous player. The card was graded Mint 9 by the Professional Sports Authenticator, which is almost at the top of its perfection scale for quality. Initially, the player remained anonymous, despite the well-paid offers for the card, including $1 million (£777,435) and a home-cooked paella from Spain-based hobby shop Gremio de Dragones. Read more
