If there’s one big news in the world of Magic: The Gathering this year, it’s about The One Ring. Even reaching beyond the Magic player community, the existence of a card of which only one copy exists in the world, representing The One Ring from The Lord of the Rings, caused a sensation worldwide. A store in Valencia even offered two million euros (and a paella) for it, capturing attention everywhere. And for good reason. But it seemed like the story had come to an end when someone found it and was going to put it up for auction. However, today we’ve discovered that the card already has an owner. And it’s someone very famous.
The One Ring serialized 001/001 from The Lord of the Rings: Tales from Middle-earth has changed hands and its new owner is probably the world’s richest Magic player: Post Malone.
Posting a video on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, and Tik Tok, Brook Trafton, the person who originally opened The One and Only Ring, poses with the famous singer, hugging him, with a monetary exchange that has likely changed his life life forever. One more than enough reason to get excited.
The exact sale price of the card still remains a mystery today. Speculations suggest that it has been sold for an amount exceeding two million dollars, which sounds reasonable considering that Post Malone himself paid 800,000 dollars for a signed version of Black Lotus by the artist Chris Rush. However, there is no official confirmation of the actual amount he paid for this card. The only thing that is clear is that it was certainly not a small sum, and whatever the amount was, both Trafton and Malone have achieved exactly what they desired from this transaction.
