A little more than a month after the exciting discovery of an incredibly rare Magic the Gathering trading card featuring the recognizable “One Ring” from J.R.R. Tolkien’s renowned literary masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings series, the prized card has found its new home with none other than the renowned rapper, Post Malone. Due to the card’s uniqueness, collectors from all around the world expressed interest, with offers topping an astounding $2 million.

The anticipation peaked as a TikTok video of a delighted Post Malone getting the priceless card leaked. A person by the name of Brook Trafton posted the video and claimed to have discovered this amazing treasure. Post Malone was “the first person who came to mind” as a suitable owner when he first saw the card, he said.

The sale, according to Trafton, a devoted and lifelong Magic the Gathering player, was “life-changing,” but he would not go into specifics. According to reports, the card drew bids as high as $2.2 million, making it one of the most expensive trading cards ever auctioned.

The amount secures the “One Ring” card’s place in the pantheon of collector gems, even though it is less than certain extremely rare baseball, basketball, and hockey cards’ stratospheric asking prices. Top of the list is three cards: a $6.97 million Honus Wagner rookie card from 2021, a $12.6 million Mickey Mantle rookie card from last year, and a $5.2 million Illustrator Pikachu Pokemon card from the same year.
