Post Malone Spent $800k On Rare Magic: The Gathering Card
Post Malone has revealed he spent $800,000 on one of Magic: The Gathering’s most expensive cards, and the purchase seems to have made it the most expensive card in the game's history. As the popular trading card game has been around since 1993, plenty of cards released in the early days of Magic’s decades-old library would command high value today. In fact, there are already some expensive cards in Magic’sStreets of New Capenna set which only released last April.
Magic: The Gathering has found its way into millions of households and the secondhand market for Magic cards is a thriving one. Being able to afford them, on the other hand, is another matter entirely, as the price of cards can swing from mere cents to thousands of dollars. However, many fans will attest that there are few Magic cards as expensive as the Black Lotus. Appearing in Magic's Alpha release, the Black Lotus was a powerful card that has become somewhat of a meme among fans for its rarity and selling price that often commands, at minimum, a few thousand dollars; and with Black Lotus under Magic's Reserved List — a policy enacted by publisher Wizards of the Coast to preserve the value of cards on the secondary market- it will never be reprinted again and thus, more easily maintains its high value.
