A "Blаck Lotus" collectible card from Magic: The Gathering's first 1993 print run sold for a jaw-dropping $3 million, setting a new record as the most expensive Magic card ever purchased.
The private sale was brokered between Pristine Collectibles and an anonymous buyer. The "Alpha Blаck Lotus" card received a pristine Pristine 10 grade from respected grading company CGC Cards. "Its sky-high price demonstrates the high value collectors place on CGC Cards' Pristine 10 grade," CGC Cards commented on their Instagram unveiling the record sale.
The "Black Lotus" is one of Magic's rarest and most coveted cards due to the limited print run of the 1993 inaugural set. However, the $3 million price tag stunned even diehard collectors. The previous record price for a Magic: The Gathering card was around $500,000. This latest deal shattered that by over 6 times, underscoring the cult card game's insane popularity in the collectibles market.
