It’s actually funny how meta this is but if you actually find the “one ring” card and announce it to the world your chances of being found, murdered and robbed goes up incredibly high.
And there is also a really good chance, that nobody actually opens it for a long long time. The ring is thought to be "lost". Despite magic being a huge money sink and a lot of it predatory, "the one ring"-thing is actually just really, really cool from a meta-lore perspective. As long as you can get the regular version somehow, if it's a card you'd like to play, I don't see a problem with such a wildly desirable card existing.
The fact that the "bounty" has a time limit for a 1 of 1 item should be a clue that this is not a bounty but rather a marketing move to get people to rush out and buy the new cards.
Another potential problem to arise from the "bounty" is that one of the card-printing employees or one of the people/security guards responsible for packaging and shipping it to the desired random card shop location may tip off an acquaintance to buy all the booster boxes, have them "coincidentally" draw the card, and split the profits incognito. This is exactly what happened when McDonald's ran the Monopoly Game promotion during the 1990's.
With 3 weeks I doubt it'll have a chance to ship out to a card shop. Most likely the only rational way to get your hands on that card would be to buy the $450 collector's set off one of the online sellers
Its worth mentioning that they are only putting this card in the Collectors Edition box, which sells for over $350 for a few boosters. It cant and wont be in the normal boosters for the set. So you cant really even have a 10 year old grab a pack at walmart and pull the ring. It will be pulled by someone who already has a ton of cash for cardboard hobbies.
@@sa1yan410 how does that change the fact they said anyone can pull it from lotr packs and are not telling ppl they are only putting it in a collectors pack ? lol this is clearly a ploy to get ppl to buy
Apologies! We didn't mean to put the 30day limit; it was an error in the copy used from a previous bounty we paid out! There is no deadline on pulling the card for this bounty.
@@DakotaZ162 what oversight though? that's what I don't get about all this "outrage" about a privately owned comic book shop trying to run a fun promotion where someone can possibly score big. it's not like they're a subsidiary of wizards of the coast and they're gassing it up because the accountants told them to.
The fact that this card is the *One Ring,* the most powerful yet dangerous artifact in Middle Earth that is a symbol for greed and lunacy, is so poetic
@@Uhreg I'd argue it used to be. Go back a few years, and the primary purpose of the rarity system was based on the copies of a given card you'd need in your deck. In fairness, this copy of The One Ring is a special variant of a card that can be opened in normal packs, and this variant will ONLY be found in the expensive packs targeted solely towards collectors looking for special variants (foil, extended art, alternate art). Furthermore, it's a card that's only useful in specific decks, with functionally identical cards for $1.
this is why most Micro transactions in games have same concept, biggest example, FIFA where you are getting card packs, and each time hoping that you get the card you want
As far as authenticating the card after it’s found, the person who pulls it needs to keep the pack because WotC will definitely have logged the serial number of the pack it’s placed in. That’s the best way to verify it!
@@mostafasham1524 that's exactly what I was thinking, or something in/on the card that not another mortal soul knows of to authenticate it if it's pulled
My LGS put up a $1.3M bounty. I only ever see like 3 people in there at a time at most. They know it's just to get people to buy more packs. It's poetic that the one ring is a symbol of evil and greed.
It is still sold through individual packs though, right? No chance in hell I buy a box...I'd be willing to buy exactly one 15 card pack just for the meme....
@@connormelton1635 It's in the collectors boosters, which are sold in both packs and boxes. I cannnot stress enough how much you would need to buy so many boxes to make this in any way reasonably possible. There is literally only one out of probably hundreds of thousands of mythics that will have been total printed in this set. And you only get two slots for mythics and rares (of which there are probably genuinely millions of rares printed on the sheet). Buying packs individually would give you no real chance at the card.
An aspect that Charlie didn't mention about the whole thing is that the 1/1 One Ring can only be pulled in the Collector Boosters, which is the most expensive variant of the product. Its definitely a marketing move on the part of WOTC to pump CB sales. Not to mention the fact that in the context of the competitive scene, this set contains some of the most ridiculously pushed cards in the game's recent history, pushing competitive players to look into, at the very least, getting select singles.
Started my trading card addiction early at age 9 when the pokemon trading card game was released. Went to yugioh along with everyone else my age as the more complex game at the time and lost all of my collections over the years after my mother passed away and i had to move multiple times. Now with little support and a severe genetic auto immune debilitating disease im recently getting diagnosed and trying to get my health back on track. Started collecting again around the same time as everyone else around 2020., watching Charlie Ludwig and Miz and more doing box openings helped me get back in. Collecting has been a nice distraction but it is certainly an addiction and id be better off without it honestly. In too deep at this point.
In recent history of MTG, foil cards have been doing this thing known as "Prigling" where the card will curl and, like the name suggests, look likes a Pringle. If the 1/1 looks like a pringle, its probably legit.
At the card shop I work at some of us decided that, if we magically get the card, it would be fun to open up a live bid where people could either bid for the card itself or big to have the card destroyed in a fake volcano.
that would be legit amazing. it would be wonderful to see just how many are motivated by greed as opposed to those who just want to pass their own “i would be better than isildur, if given the chance” test.
Fake volcano is lame. But a real volcano, that’d be cool. What would be even better is if you make a short UA-cam series where you and your coworkers hike to a volcano and drop it in
The other thing with them making it 1/1 is that the more boxes that get opened and no one finds the card, the remaining boxes are going to shoot up in value, due to it being a set print run. What's the bet that it just happens to be in one of the boxes at the end of the run or in a set of boxes they've decided to keep aside as prizes for their events.
Me and my friends used to be big into mtg but then we realized we could just use proxys and then we did and were playing literally the exact same game for free lol. Paying for cardboard was just wild
I mean, it's for the same reason that film buffs buy DVDs/Blu-Rays of their favorite films, it's so you actually own the item and build your collection with it. If you're not collecting tho, then yes, proxies/online playing is def the move.
Yes however that's still a unique thing they've never done before. I don't think that changes how rare this item is. Like it's not less rare just because there's millions of other crappier versions floating around. This art and this 1/1 card is the only one in the entire world and only one person will own it. While there's tons of people who own multiple Black Lotus. So the card is for sure worth in the millions imo.
@@vulcanh254 nah, you’ve gotta be a real idiot to buy a card with tons of copies just for a serial - that’s basically a fucking nft level of stupid. Owning one of 30 unique cards will always be more valuable than one of a million with a unique number - I’m not saying someone with fuck you type money wont drop a bag on it, but I disagree that it’ll be anywhere near as valuable as ACTUALLY unique cards.
@Cho konnit There are no NFTs in magic. They thankfully dodged that bullet. Your comment makes no sense anyway and reeks of ignorance. An NFT is literally nothing, it's a virtual fart jar and you need to convince some rich moron that it's worth something so you sell it to him for 40k, then that idiot has to find a bigger idiot who's willing to pay 200k for it, then if that idiot is lucky he might scam a Saudi investor and get him to dish out 1 million bucks. But the NFT isn't actually worth 1 million just because someone bought it for that. It's worth nothing of course. So it's a game of hot potato where the last person who buys loses everything and the people in the middle try to make a quick buck but fail 95% of the time. You can't compare this card to an NFT because this is a real collectible. The last person who bought it still owns a million $ card.
Would be suprised because it’s only inside the most expensive boosters of the set (collector booster and a box is like 450 euro in my country and thoe have like 12 packs in them). So a random kid getting them would be unlikely.
The one ring card just lets you draw really efficiently. And the more you draw, the more damage you take each upkeep, so you'd want to destroy it before it kills you, but only after getting enough value out of it.
Or you just flicker it to reset the counters. If you flicker it every turn, that's 3 cards for 3 life every turn cycle (once when you tap it normally after your untap phase and once after it comes back after being flickered). A pretty legitimate card for any decks that can flicker things like Yorion the sky noodle.
The ordeal of opening this, verifying it, and selling it to this company has got to be way worse than just going to your local gas station and winning a million bucks through the lottery.
Yup, this smells so scummy all over. A counterfeit can be absolutely perfect, too. And even if you pull the REAL card, they can always say "no, your card is missing (whatever) on it, so that's not the real one". How would you even prove it's the real one ? WOTC are the only ones who know the criteria, they hold all the cards... literally.
@@malikthebarbarian6815 You actually have substantially better odds at pulling this card. Although pulling the card is still incredibly rare at 1 in 3 mill but the lottery is 1 in 176 mil. Way better odds to pull the card but obv still a crazy gamble which is way more expensive than a lotto card.
Depending on how much they go through inventory, it’s definitely possible the 1/1 was in the first shipment of boxes and will likely be sold before stores reorder inventory
The main issue is that the box containing the card has a chance to be lost or destroyed and then the search will continue until wotc is accused of not sending it out into the world
Nah, they will make sure the box goes somewhere that it definitely gets bought and opened. They're not just going to mix the box in with a bunch of others on a pallet and send it out lol
Thats IF its even in a box, for all we know another factory worker may have pulled another switch a roo, or they're holding onto it to have a streamer 'randomly' open the pack live. After all the shit WoC has pulled anything is possible.
“It must be taken deep into Mordor and cast back into the fiery chasm from whence it came.” I just image someone going to the WOTC HQ and toss it in a paper shredder
The limited time frame for ONE person to pull ONE card makes this feel like a scam to me. They could just say the card has been put in some box somewhere, and idiots will go out in droves to buy, give them money, while they sit and laugh, raking in the cash, having never released this card to begin with. I hate everything about this and I have never collected TCGs of any kind, ever.
A couple of infos and clarifications: The One Ring isn't the only numbered card in the set, there are numbered versions of the card "Sol Ring" representing the rings that Sauron gave to the Elves, Dwarves and Humans kings, and they are 300, 700 and 900 prints of each version, so whales would have other reasons to buy the boxes. Also they got some reprints of famous/strong mtg cards in a LOTR flavor. The bounty didn't come out of nowhere, various people/stores just kept one upping each other until this amount was reached (for example Cassius Marsh offered 500k like a day before) About the distribution of this card, everything could happen, dunno if they care about the PR, they are weird and old fashioned in this regard, I believe they just want people to buy boxes
Yeah- I genuinely believe the other, also extremely rare cards will continue to give the collector's packs value overtime. Sure it will be *measurably less valuable* if the one ring card is pulled quickly but I don't think the combination of two genre defining franchises will result in anything less than this card being one of the most expensive cards of all time, like- more valuable than the highest quality Babe Ruth Rookie card kinda value. Also, even if this card is pulled and graded- it's still going to be wildly valuable with a poor grade and I find that kinda funny cause then copies/dupes would have that additional level of imperfections to match lol
One thing you didn´t think about is that boxes get printed depending of demand and are printed in waves. that means the ring has to be in the first wave of the boxes which is sold at the release of the set and it won´t be in a box printed later on. so in my opinion it will be found early after release of the set.
@@hamer_shark878 if you think about it. if we say they don´t lie then the card has to be in the first printrun because if it´s not they just lie and you actually have a 0 percent chance to pull the card because it doesn´t exist. so therefor it has to be in the first printrun.
I can’t wait for the card to be in an unopened pack in someone’s closet for years until they have a garage sale, where someone buys and opens it on the spot, only for their friend to look at them and say “You know…. It’s my birthday today.”
I like the fact that Charlie is worries about "what if some no one pulls it and never does anything with it!", yes. that's Gollum. its in lore flavour :)

the whole time watching this i could hear the mysterious LOTR music playing in my head while also imagining myself sitting in my wardrobe looking at it in secret after i’ve pulled it and not told anyone.
@@FuhzyLiquids they will hold onto the card untill the 3 weeks is up then ship it out so when someone finds it they dont have to pay and they sold a crap ton of boxes. whoever finds still will be able to sell it to collectors. thats their strategy. No one is getting paid a million dollars gaurenteed. there will be still pr and footage of people flooding walmart to find this card to no ones avail till someone finds it a day too late. but ebay is still a thing so whoever finds it will still get a payout just not from dave and adams
As someone who has gotten addicted to shiny cardboard for the last 3+ years, this has to be one of the craziest chases I've ever heard from TCG as a whole! I'd probably have a better shot at winning a million dollars from a scratch ticket than pulling one specific card out of millions of booster packs.
I think the mystery of it never being found would be cooler. That leaves an air of mystery around it; and it fits the lore of the actual Ring being lost for hundreds of years.
I agree with you Charlie, they're going to "seed" the card to make sure it doesn't get immediately found. However I don't think they would be stupid enough to just give it to a celebrity to open on stream. I mean that would be so flagrant. The absolute worst case scenario is if a WotC employee opens a pack for fun on a stream and pulls it. That would create a huge controversy and people would be convinced that they rigged it. Even if it wasn't planned at all people would get super mad. This alone is another reason why they might want to control a little bit who "CAN'T" get it. So imo the first print wave won't contain it. They'll slip it in the second wave.
That’s kind of an easy fix tho. They just make sure it goes into a pack that is being shipped to a bullshit state…like Kansas. No WoC employees there. No big UA-camrs there. But that also may be why it’s taking so long. Not a lot of sales for MTG in that area.
@@Lenape_Lady Yeah, but Charlie mentions that in a video. If you were to go along with your idea, which isn't inherently a bad one, but it increases the possibility of some random idiot pulling the card who's never heard of the bounty, doesn't know what it is or that it's anything special, and it just goes into a binder or some other type of storage forever, never to see the light of day. That's best-worst case scenario. It could be some snot-nosed kid that takes horrible care of the cards in addition to not knowing what it is. Point being, there's pros and cons everywhere, there isn't any real "perfect" solution.
Everytime any company makes an event like this and they don't exactly explain how the card is going to be introduced for example randomly generated at a random day or handled by a specific person you can be sure its shady. If it wasn't shady and 100% fair they would just publish what exactly happens, they don't for a reason.
This reminds me of when I sold duct-tape wallets for a school market project. I said there was a 5$ bill inside one of the wallets, and I ended up selling out. The 5$ bill was in the last wallet I put out
I’m imagining the “winner” immediately turning around and trying to use his prize to buy more wallets as you calmly try to explain how they are all gone. He immediately cuts you off mid apology yelling “MAKE WITH THE LOOT WALLETS CASINO-BOY, DADDY NEEDS A NEW PAIR OF CUFF LINKS!” Jump cut to you in a sleazy casino pit boss suit and slicked back hair running an underground mystery wallet gambling empire on campus so lucrative you have the whole faculty receiving hush money kick backs in the form of credits redeemable towards more mystery wallets.
If I manage to pull this, I’m taking it straight to an appraiser, posting about it online, and then throwing it into a volcano as is my duty as a ring bearer.
i doubt that someone would pull this and not find out about the hunt for it. i feel like almost all people that pull a rare holo card will immediately look it up to see how much its worth
The LOTR MTG series has been controversial since it was announced. What I think they want is they know the coverage about it has been negative and feel that if they do this, it'll artificially increase the sales so they can go "See, it sold well!". What you said is probably right that they're nesting it or holding onto it so they don't have to shell out the 1 mil while trying to boost numbers after continuously shooting themselves in the foot.
@@kabobawsome wanting the author's works to be respected is not racism. It's been pointed out many times before but moves such as what I assume you are referring to exist only to use minorities as a shield to distract people from all the controversies the company has gotten itself into. If they genuinely want to be inclusive the LOTR already has the Haradrim and Easterlings in which wotc could have made unique characters for. Swapping out existing characters in this way rather than giving people actual representation is nothing short of lazy and disrespectful to the very people they are trying to pander to.
@AmberAmbitions I mean there is the argument that they are pulling an ActiBlizz, where they want to use diversity as a distraction from whatever scandal is out. Also, this might not be the case here, but it could be done to avoid paying actors likeness rights. No really that's been done. It's likely that Ariel will go back to the 90s design and won't look like Halle Bailey in merchandise years down the line, because Disnet won't want to pay for Bailey's likeness. This already happened with Amy Adam's and Enchanted, her princess isn't on merchandise because Adams would get likeness payments.
I'd find it extremely funny and ironic if the card was "accidentally" in the thousands of LOTR card boxes that were sent to the Texas dump and shredded along with the rest of the surplus Magic cards that were dumped earlier this year.
@@Skellotronix better to waste time effort and resources on absolutely nothing than to do something nice that makes the world a better place lmfao. you must be naive
I for one can’t wait to watch a documentary on how Dave & Adams tried the marketing ploy, failed, and had no contingency to figure out who actually pulled the card.
There's only one, they can't duplicate the designs of the entire card. So what do you mean no contingency to figure out who actually pulled the card? By design it's a contingency lol
@@pyro1830 thinking a company in a capitalist society would give an opportunity of $1M to someone who hasn't even completed the thing in question is what's really slow. Take your self righteous comment to a marketing class you olive garden frittata
It's an easy fix situation, all they have to do is put a specific mark and print on the card like on the back or a hidden one that they can use it as a reference to verify the validity i don't see why people see issue with this it's only one card so you can't copy it with it's hidden details unless you have the original.
A great idea doing a subathon slowly moving the card closer and closer to a furnace but you are forgetting that only the fires of mount doom can destroy The One Ring
I feel like the best play would be to wait till about the halfway point, (Halfway, meaning the middle point of the bounty date. So midway), and buy boxes. That feels like the safest thing to do. It's what I'd personally do. And what I might do.
But do the drugs you consumed have a resale value? In all fairness it’s still an addiction, but you’re still making an investment with a relatively high chance of appreciation.
If there's only one in existence for this, they have all the budget to add in a secret bar code that authenticates the card itself and possibly other RFID tech that could be imbedded into the ONLY CARD IN EXISTENCE.
Or just don't make it look exactly like on the picture? Everyone will try to replicate the card based on the picture. No one exept the makers and the person who pulls it will know what it ACTUALLY looks like.
There is no way this is the only One Ring card. This is the only One Ring card to get sent out for this publicity stunt. Nobody and nothing makes perfect anything the first time. There are many One Ring MtG cards at WotC, just "one" in "public".
i’m the same way with collecting. i’m not a hoarder, i just want everything i want and once i have that i’m satisfied 😂 i started collecting records a couple years ago and now my collection is worth almost $20,000 but i don’t really buy anymore because i have everything i want already
there were actually a bunch of earlier bounties. shortly after this was originally announced a guy claimed he would pay 500k for it, but only if you didn't tell anyone that you opened it, so he could claim he had done it
I’ve listened to Wizard’s of the Coast podcast for Magic. The very first episode talks to a lead artist at the company. Eventually, the discussion of counterfeits came up. The lead artist mentioned that original artists will implement certain artistic measures so they could undoubtedly confirm or deny if a card THEY made is real. Kind of a wax stamp of approval. For a million, I’m sure they’ll know the only real one lol
@@dbptwg but how would know what imagine is on there? They don't have the real card to duplicate it. They released a picture of the card, easiest way would just be for the card to look slightly different than the picture. Everyone will try to make it look like the picture, so they'll know it's fake.
I don’t know a whole lot about trading cards; but couldn’t the authentic one just have a unique serial number of some kind? Printing company then matches it with their records, done?
@@dbptwg it’s not that complicated. You are supposed to keep the literal pack the card comes in because the card will be identified to the pack it was in.
@@BVBVLXN There are a ton of measures against counterfeit cards. There are several of them in one card. From very small details in the front and back of the card, to the pattern the colours are printed on the card (small dots, stars ) It's impossible to counterfait a 1 in 1 card, since nobody knows how it looks like in detail until someone gets it. Only the designer and maybe the production know it.
Using artists as a "protection" against counterfeit is like feeling secure because your house has Masterlocks on it. Ooh wow, now instead of picking any old locks, your Masterlocks are being picked this time, whoa so protection.
i really want a charlie and the chocolate factory moment to happen where jimmy down the block buys a booster pack from small shop card shop and wins it
I feel that the counterfeit could easily be avoided by changing the color of the card (or something about the card) to be completely different when they release it without letting the people know
the trouble then is that either nobody other than WotC knows about the real way of identifying the card, or that everyone knows it and people make counterfeits using it
I think there's like two possibilities for this card. Either Wizards is 100% hands off, in a "this is a marketing ploy and when the set releases it has already done it's job (also our lawyers are going to murder us if we do something weird)" kinda way. Or, if they want to make sure it gets opened soon after release, they'll make sure that it ends up at a big game store, where people open a lot of packs.
You say that, but there's still a huge divide between players who want to keep the reserved list and those that just want reprints of every old card I feel like that's the bigger issue I personally side with reprinting whatever, because you shouldn't be playing a card game to invest, you should be playing it just to have fun
@@thedudecalledalan9095 It's so dumb, do people just not understand what forced scarcity is? Really nothing is stopping that company from printing a million more of those cards AT ANY TIME.

The whole thing of people spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on these fucking trading cards is so damn asinine. Sorry, but the way I see it, it's every bit as useless as a fucking NFT. The only difference is one you can hold and one you can't. Other than that...? I mean I understand the people who hunt for cards that are actually, organically rare, as in they're rare because they're really old, and it's because of that reason that they're so valuable, because it's like you're holding a piece of history; that I completely get. But this...people are trying to get these cards in packs that are being made and printed TODAY, just to get cards that are apparently valuable because they're TOLD that they're super rare and valuable by the same damn company that's MAKING the thing.

When I was in like, 2nd grade, I remember a kid saying he had one of those foil shadowless charizards from the original set. He proceeded to proudly pull out a crumbled ball of paper from his back pocket that was once a pokemon card... I imagine a similar fate for this card, assuming it ever gets pulled.
I was that kid. But I showed a Polaroid of Mt first edition shadowless charizard. Because everyone was stealing everyone's entire collections and battle decks every day. Thus stared my 2 decade weird obsession to collect every charizard I could from every set. When Logan Paul and Leon the two cuck boys R US. Pump and dump scammed the Markey with the fat loser dad that stole his charizards from his son. Artificially causing a run on the collector card market. In which they had the connection to WOTC as well as the domination of youtube influence. They named their price. My collection of unopened booster boxes from when I was in 2nd grade and 3rd in 1999 and 2000. Up until evolution. My pack fresh charizard variation collection from first edition shadowless till evolution. Skipping a few I just got to busy with life or couldn't pull myself or buy for under $20. Was worth more than any dollar amount I could even imagine winning in a lottery. Life changing. What was devastating was all my life and weird casual hobby I kept as tradition from my childhood. Meant too much to get me to sell. I had gone so long just struggling to figure out next month's bill. The thought of selling my childhood made me sick. I did have alot of other cards from every set all having atleast 2 pack fresh copies and many others just left in penny sleeves stacked in my gun safe. I was able to liquidate the un needed for enough to now be making more than I spent in a year back then. From my career and a comfortable amout just in interest each year from investments. I kept my charizard collection. Worth not even 1/60th of what they were during the market manipulation. Yet I have no regret.
Something I realized about this card is since it’s 1/1 the card can LITERALLY be in any condition possible, it could even be torn in half and the value of the card would remain Not that anybody would spend a mil anyway but still
The only way the card would be pulled within 3 weeks is if they had knowledge of when and where the card is getting shipped to, and would have to work with that specific retail store to ensure the pallet with the card somewhere inside is all set out on the shelves within that 3 week period. Otherwise it will likely sit in a distribution center or back of a store for weeks or months.
That company did say that it wasn't supposed to be a timed offer. That being said I hope the card went through the same printing process as all the other cards and it gets misprinted down the middle onto 2 cards.
Completing an addiction is my favorite piece of Charlie lore. If he defeated his fear of plane rides, that's probably the only thing that could beat it.
The three-week deadline is also likely to prevent people from submitting counterfeits. I've been in the proxy game, and making quality proxies usually takes at least a month. A convincing counterfeit would likely take much longer to produce, so there's almost no way one could be produced within that three-week window.
That point near the end does ring true to me; honestly I think the idea of a "1-of" card is cool, just for the sake of collecting. But this is _Wizards_ here, it is genuinely _more_ likely than not they there will be shenanigans involved. They can't help themselves, there's literally no way they'll just randomly slip this card into a box and just full-send.

Another potential problem to arise from the "bounty" is that one of the card-printing employees or one of the people/security guards responsible for packaging and shipping it to the desired random card shop location may tip off an acquaintance to buy all the booster boxes, have them "coincidentally" draw the card, and split the profits incognito.
This is exactly what happened when McDonald's ran the Monopoly Game promotion during the 1990's.
Its possible, but I would be surprised.
With 3 weeks I doubt it'll have a chance to ship out to a card shop. Most likely the only rational way to get your hands on that card would be to buy the $450 collector's set off one of the online sellers
As long as its confirmed to be inserted into the randomizer then there is 0 chance anyone will know what case or box it ends up in.
A machine makes the packs they would have to just steal the cards. They would never know where they end up
@@snakezula its in a collectors box
Its worth mentioning that they are only putting this card in the Collectors Edition box, which sells for over $350 for a few boosters. It cant and wont be in the normal boosters for the set. So you cant really even have a 10 year old grab a pack at walmart and pull the ring. It will be pulled by someone who already has a ton of cash for cardboard hobbies.
You can get small chance with a gift bundle, which comes with 1 collector booster pack. The odds are so low but ya never know lol

is it any different than loot boxes?
@@Uhreg I'd argue it used to be. Go back a few years, and the primary purpose of the rarity system was based on the copies of a given card you'd need in your deck.
In fairness, this copy of The One Ring is a special variant of a card that can be opened in normal packs, and this variant will ONLY be found in the expensive packs targeted solely towards collectors looking for special variants (foil, extended art, alternate art). Furthermore, it's a card that's only useful in specific decks, with functionally identical cards for $1.
this is why most Micro transactions in games have same concept, biggest example, FIFA where you are getting card packs, and each time hoping that you get the card you want
As far as authenticating the card after it’s found, the person who pulls it needs to keep the pack because WotC will definitely have logged the serial number of the pack it’s placed in. That’s the best way to verify it!
Or put a chip inside the card so they can scan it
or just mark the card

its also something to note its not going to be in regular boxes only collectors edition
It's also worth noting, this ring only appears in the most expensive version of this product. Thanks for covering it.

It is still sold through individual packs though, right? No chance in hell I buy a box...I'd be willing to buy exactly one 15 card pack just for the meme....
@@connormelton1635 It's in the collectors boosters, which are sold in both packs and boxes. I cannnot stress enough how much you would need to buy so many boxes to make this in any way reasonably possible. There is literally only one out of probably hundreds of thousands of mythics that will have been total printed in this set. And you only get two slots for mythics and rares (of which there are probably genuinely millions of rares printed on the sheet). Buying packs individually would give you no real chance at the card.
I think the biggest concern would be people leaving boxes sealed and not opening them.
if no one finds "The One Card" prices for unopened packs from this printing will skyrocket since it will still be inside one of them...
@@originalSiiiNimagine being such a no life you pay anything over $100 for a fucking card….. go learn some life skills ffs 😂😂😂

@@ZophiMichaels why is that wizards problem? They're in it to make money. If the product gets stolen it's the store selling it's problem.
An aspect that Charlie didn't mention about the whole thing is that the 1/1 One Ring can only be pulled in the Collector Boosters, which is the most expensive variant of the product. Its definitely a marketing move on the part of WOTC to pump CB sales. Not to mention the fact that in the context of the competitive scene, this set contains some of the most ridiculously pushed cards in the game's recent history, pushing competitive players to look into, at the very least, getting select singles.
Yeah, no shit. A company is trying to make money? Who would have thought

Started my trading card addiction early at age 9 when the pokemon trading card game was released.

Now with little support and a severe genetic auto immune debilitating disease im recently getting diagnosed and trying to get my health back on track. Started collecting again around the same time as everyone else around 2020., watching Charlie Ludwig and Miz and more doing box openings helped me get back in. Collecting has been a nice distraction but it is certainly an addiction and id be better off without it honestly. In too deep at this point.
Hope you get well and healthy soon!

At the card shop I work at some of us decided that, if we magically get the card, it would be fun to open up a live bid where people could either bid for the card itself or big to have the card destroyed in a fake volcano.
After all, why not make it a real volcano?
It is too powerful! It must be destroyed!
that would be legit amazing. it would be wonderful to see just how many are motivated by greed as opposed to those who just want to pass their own “i would be better than isildur, if given the chance” test.
Fake volcano is lame. But a real volcano, that’d be cool. What would be even better is if you make a short UA-cam series where you and your coworkers hike to a volcano and drop it in
Crowd sourced trip to mount doom
The other thing with them making it 1/1 is that the more boxes that get opened and no one finds the card, the remaining boxes are going to shoot up in value, due to it being a set print run. What's the bet that it just happens to be in one of the boxes at the end of the run or in a set of boxes they've decided to keep aside as prizes for their events.
Me and my friends used to be big into mtg but then we realized we could just use proxys and then we did and were playing literally the exact same game for free lol. Paying for cardboard was just wild
I mean, it's for the same reason that film buffs buy DVDs/Blu-Rays of their favorite films, it's so you actually own the item and build your collection with it. If you're not collecting tho, then yes, proxies/online playing is def the move.
As a magic player I must say that there is only one SERIALIZED version of the card. The one ring will still be printed at mythic quality as normal.
Yes however that's still a unique thing they've never done before. I don't think that changes how rare this item is.
Like it's not less rare just because there's millions of other crappier versions floating around. This art and this 1/1 card is the only one in the entire world and only one person will own it. While there's tons of people who own multiple Black Lotus. So the card is for sure worth in the millions imo.
@@vulcanh254 let me guess, you bought nfts didnt you
@@vulcanh254 nah, you’ve gotta be a real idiot to buy a card with tons of copies just for a serial - that’s basically a fucking nft level of stupid.

- I’m not saying someone with fuck you type money wont drop a bag on it, but I disagree that it’ll be anywhere near as valuable as ACTUALLY unique cards.
@Cho konnit There are no NFTs in magic. They thankfully dodged that bullet.
Your comment makes no sense anyway and reeks of ignorance. An NFT is literally nothing, it's a virtual fart jar and you need to convince some rich moron that it's worth something so you sell it to him for 40k, then that idiot has to find a bigger idiot who's willing to pay 200k for it, then if that idiot is lucky he might scam a Saudi investor and get him to dish out 1 million bucks. But the NFT isn't actually worth 1 million just because someone bought it for that. It's worth nothing of course. So it's a game of hot potato where the last person who buys loses everything and the people in the middle try to make a quick buck but fail 95% of the time.
You can't compare this card to an NFT because this is a real collectible. The last person who bought it still owns a million $ card.

Would be suprised because it’s only inside the most expensive boosters of the set (collector booster and a box is like 450 euro in my country and thoe have like 12 packs in them). So a random kid getting them would be unlikely.
Like Gollum having the One Ring deep in a cave for years, until a Hobbit found it.
This whole debacle is lore-accurate.

That card is not coming out of the printing factory in a box but in someone's pocket.
The one ring card just lets you draw really efficiently. And the more you draw, the more damage you take each upkeep, so you'd want to destroy it before it kills you, but only after getting enough value out of it.
Its also indestructible making it hard to destroy
Or you just flicker it to reset the counters. If you flicker it every turn, that's 3 cards for 3 life every turn cycle (once when you tap it normally after your untap phase and once after it comes back after being flickered).
A pretty legitimate card for any decks that can flicker things like Yorion the sky noodle.
But if the next card is that boardwipe I need...
Exactly like the lore
For a card that rare you'd think it'll be the Magic equivalent of Exodia but apparently not
The ordeal of opening this, verifying it, and selling it to this company has got to be way worse than just going to your local gas station and winning a million bucks through the lottery.
Yup, this smells so scummy all over. A counterfeit can be absolutely perfect, too. And even if you pull the REAL card, they can always say "no, your card is missing (whatever) on it, so that's not the real one". How would you even prove it's the real one ? WOTC are the only ones who know the criteria, they hold all the cards... literally.
@Eugène Onéguine as Critikal stated even they may forget what the card us supposed to look like or fall for a forgery lol.
@@EugeneOneguine they probably have a unique code or something marked on it that... It's not a rocket science to make a verify process for it
And you have better odds of winning the lottery
@@malikthebarbarian6815 You actually have substantially better odds at pulling this card. Although pulling the card is still incredibly rare at 1 in 3 mill but the lottery is 1 in 176 mil. Way better odds to pull the card but obv still a crazy gamble which is way more expensive than a lotto card.
Depending on how much they go through inventory, it’s definitely possible the 1/1 was in the first shipment of boxes and will likely be sold before stores reorder inventory
Seeing Charlie eat his own shoe is more motivation for me to buy cards than the $1million bounty
The main issue is that the box containing the card has a chance to be lost or destroyed and then the search will continue until wotc is accused of not sending it out into the world
Nah, they will make sure the box goes somewhere that it definitely gets bought and opened. They're not just going to mix the box in with a bunch of others on a pallet and send it out lol
That or eventually may try to have another "event" where they print a few more.
Thats IF its even in a box, for all we know another factory worker may have pulled another switch a roo, or they're holding onto it to have a streamer 'randomly' open the pack live. After all the shit WoC has pulled anything is possible.
The main issue is a small piece of cardboard with some computer printed art is worth a mill why r ppl so retarded lol
It will somehow end up in the hands of a hasbro shareholder
If I ever get that single card, I would either outright destroy it or keep it for myself. Either way it's true to the lore.
After all why wouldn’t I keep the ring - you should destroy it saulaman
“It must be taken deep into Mordor and cast back into the fiery chasm from whence it came.” I just image someone going to the WOTC HQ and toss it in a paper shredder
Pull a Kaiba from Yugioh and just rip it in two.
Cast it into the fire! Destroy it!
more than Amazon's series or the Gollum game, for sure.
The limited time frame for ONE person to pull ONE card makes this feel like a scam to me. They could just say the card has been put in some box somewhere, and idiots will go out in droves to buy, give them money, while they sit and laugh, raking in the cash, having never released this card to begin with. I hate everything about this and I have never collected TCGs of any kind, ever.

Holy shit you attracted all the bots
A couple of infos and clarifications:
The One Ring isn't the only numbered card in the set, there are numbered versions of the card "Sol Ring" representing the rings that Sauron gave to the Elves, Dwarves and Humans kings, and they are 300, 700 and 900 prints of each version, so whales would have other reasons to buy the boxes. Also they got some reprints of famous/strong mtg cards in a LOTR flavor.
The bounty didn't come out of nowhere, various people/stores just kept one upping each other until this amount was reached (for example Cassius Marsh offered 500k like a day before)
About the distribution of this card, everything could happen, dunno if they care about the PR, they are weird and old fashioned in this regard, I believe they just want people to buy boxes
Yeah- I genuinely believe the other, also extremely rare cards will continue to give the collector's packs value overtime.
Sure it will be *measurably less valuable* if the one ring card is pulled quickly but I don't think the combination of two genre defining franchises will result in anything less than this card being one of the most expensive cards of all time, like- more valuable than the highest quality Babe Ruth Rookie card kinda value.
Also, even if this card is pulled and graded- it's still going to be wildly valuable with a poor grade and I find that kinda funny cause then copies/dupes would have that additional level of imperfections to match lol
Lamo nobody wants to buy those garbage boxes
star city games is gonna pull it of course😂
The lore teller
"dunno if they care about the PR"... i have a bridge to sell you
lmao bro your openers are always funny af
One thing you didn´t think about is that boxes get printed depending of demand and are printed in waves. that means the ring has to be in the first wave of the boxes which is sold at the release of the set and it won´t be in a box printed later on. so in my opinion it will be found early after release of the set.
That's just bollocks they can put it in circulation whenever they want
@@hamer_shark878 if you think about it. if we say they don´t lie then the card has to be in the first printrun because if it´s not they just lie and you actually have a 0 percent chance to pull the card because it doesn´t exist. so therefor it has to be in the first printrun.
I can’t wait for the card to be in an unopened pack in someone’s closet for years until they have a garage sale, where someone buys and opens it on the spot, only for their friend to look at them and say “You know…. It’s my birthday today.”
.....and I wants it...."

As someone who has gotten addicted to shiny cardboard for the last 3+ years, this has to be one of the craziest chases I've ever heard from TCG as a whole! I'd probably have a better shot at winning a million dollars from a scratch ticket than pulling one specific card out of millions of booster packs.
Yeah, but it'll still send people who can't do statistical assessment into a frenzy.
I think the mystery of it never being found would be cooler. That leaves an air of mystery around it; and it fits the lore of the actual Ring being lost for hundreds of years.
Imagine getting this card and keeping it to add value while everyone else is still wondering where the card is 😂
That's legitimately what I would do tell no one, at most show up at a game of FNM lie and say it's just a fancy proxy
I agree with you Charlie, they're going to "seed" the card to make sure it doesn't get immediately found. However I don't think they would be stupid enough to just give it to a celebrity to open on stream. I mean that would be so flagrant.
The absolute worst case scenario is if a WotC employee opens a pack for fun on a stream and pulls it. That would create a huge controversy and people would be convinced that they rigged it. Even if it wasn't planned at all people would get super mad. This alone is another reason why they might want to control a little bit who "CAN'T" get it. So imo the first print wave won't contain it. They'll slip it in the second wave.
That’s kind of an easy fix tho. They just make sure it goes into a pack that is being shipped to a bullshit state…like Kansas. No WoC employees there. No big UA-camrs there. But that also may be why it’s taking so long. Not a lot of sales for MTG in that area.
@@Lenape_Lady Damn that's makes sense. 😢
@@Lenape_Lady Yeah, but Charlie mentions that in a video. If you were to go along with your idea, which isn't inherently a bad one, but it increases the possibility of some random idiot pulling the card who's never heard of the bounty, doesn't know what it is or that it's anything special, and it just goes into a binder or some other type of storage forever, never to see the light of day. That's best-worst case scenario. It could be some snot-nosed kid that takes horrible care of the cards in addition to not knowing what it is.
Point being, there's pros and cons everywhere, there isn't any real "perfect" solution.

Everytime any company makes an event like this and they don't exactly explain how the card is going to be introduced for example randomly generated at a random day or handled by a specific person you can be sure its shady.

The LOTR MTG series has been controversial since it was announced. What I think they want is they know the coverage about it has been negative and feel that if they do this, it'll artificially increase the sales so they can go "See, it sold well!". What you said is probably right that they're nesting it or holding onto it so they don't have to shell out the 1 mil while trying to boost numbers after continuously shooting themselves in the foot.
Most of the controversy has been the same as what surronds UBs in general.
As long as you're disregarding people being blatantly racist, I mean.
@@kabobawsome Blackwashing is a form of racism
@@kabobawsome wanting the author's works to be respected is not racism. It's been pointed out many times before but moves such as what I assume you are referring to exist only to use minorities as a shield to distract people from all the controversies the company has gotten itself into. If they genuinely want to be inclusive the LOTR already has the Haradrim and Easterlings in which wotc could have made unique characters for. Swapping out existing characters in this way rather than giving people actual representation is nothing short of lazy and disrespectful to the very people they are trying to pander to.
Making Aragorn black is racist.
@AmberAmbitions I mean there is the argument that they are pulling an ActiBlizz, where they want to use diversity as a distraction from whatever scandal is out.
Also, this might not be the case here, but it could be done to avoid paying actors likeness rights. No really that's been done. It's likely that Ariel will go back to the 90s design and won't look like Halle Bailey in merchandise years down the line, because Disnet won't want to pay for Bailey's likeness. This already happened with Amy Adam's and Enchanted, her princess isn't on merchandise because Adams would get likeness payments.
this must be some kind of canon event
The one ring probably has a chip in it or black light verification.

I for one can’t wait to watch a documentary on how Dave & Adams tried the marketing ploy, failed, and had no contingency to figure out who actually pulled the card.
Internet Historian documentary when
There's only one, they can't duplicate the designs of the entire card. So what do you mean no contingency to figure out who actually pulled the card? By design it's a contingency lol
@@GEROKII youre slow arent you
@@pyro1830 thinking a company in a capitalist society would give an opportunity of $1M to someone who hasn't even completed the thing in question is what's really slow. Take your self righteous comment to a marketing class you olive garden frittata
It's an easy fix situation, all they have to do is put a specific mark and print on the card like on the back or a hidden one that they can use it as a reference to verify the validity i don't see why people see issue with this it's only one card so you can't copy it with it's hidden details unless you have the original.
A great idea doing a subathon slowly moving the card closer and closer to a furnace but you are forgetting that only the fires of mount doom can destroy The One Ring
I feel like the best play would be to wait till about the halfway point, (Halfway, meaning the middle point of the bounty date. So midway), and buy boxes. That feels like the safest thing to do. It's what I'd personally do. And what I might do.
Pls don't
The worst part about a cardboard addiction is that you spend way more money than you would on any drug.
But do the drugs you consumed have a resale value? In all fairness it’s still an addiction, but you’re still making an investment with a relatively high chance of appreciation.
Somebody needs to pull the receipts of XQC calling Charlie out for gambling with cards and not slots on stream and Charlie trying to high road him🤣🤣
That is completely untrue
they should have put 5 copies of the card in the set and the people that pull them get a tour around the factory that made them :P
There is so much going wrong in the MTG world right now thanks to Hasbro. I wouldn't be surprised if a celebrity opened it on stream.
If this card doesn't get thrown into a volcano. That's a big disservice to the lore.
Its okay man, I beat my addiction through losing 4k in cards to water damage. Still miss the group events for Pokemon and MTG
RIP. Just gotta restart it 😈

If there's only one in existence for this, they have all the budget to add in a secret bar code that authenticates the card itself and possibly other RFID tech that could be imbedded into the ONLY CARD IN EXISTENCE.
Or just don't make it look exactly like on the picture? Everyone will try to replicate the card based on the picture. No one exept the makers and the person who pulls it will know what it ACTUALLY looks like.
@@jsas2047this is all good until it IS pulled. Then they gonna make fakes based on the real one, which still causes issues.
There is no way this is the only One Ring card. This is the only One Ring card to get sent out for this publicity stunt. Nobody and nothing makes perfect anything the first time. There are many One Ring MtG cards at WotC, just "one" in "public".
i’m the same way with collecting. i’m not a hoarder, i just want everything i want and once i have that i’m satisfied 😂 i started collecting records a couple years ago and now my collection is worth almost $20,000 but i don’t really buy anymore because i have everything i want already
there were actually a bunch of earlier bounties. shortly after this was originally announced a guy claimed he would pay 500k for it, but only if you didn't tell anyone that you opened it, so he could claim he had done it
I’ve listened to Wizard’s of the Coast podcast for Magic. The very first episode talks to a lead artist at the company. Eventually, the discussion of counterfeits came up. The lead artist mentioned that original artists will implement certain artistic measures so they could undoubtedly confirm or deny if a card THEY made is real. Kind of a wax stamp of approval. For a million, I’m sure they’ll know the only real one lol
@@dbptwg but how would know what imagine is on there? They don't have the real card to duplicate it. They released a picture of the card, easiest way would just be for the card to look slightly different than the picture. Everyone will try to make it look like the picture, so they'll know it's fake.
I don’t know a whole lot about trading cards; but couldn’t the authentic one just have a unique serial number of some kind? Printing company then matches it with their records, done?
@@dbptwg it’s not that complicated. You are supposed to keep the literal pack the card comes in because the card will be identified to the pack it was in.
@@BVBVLXN
There are a ton of measures against counterfeit cards.
There are several of them in one card.
From very small details in the front and back of the card, to the pattern the colours are printed on the card (small dots, stars )
It's impossible to counterfait a 1 in 1 card, since nobody knows how it looks like in detail until someone gets it.
Only the designer and maybe the production know it.
Using artists as a "protection" against counterfeit is like feeling secure because your house has Masterlocks on it. Ooh wow, now instead of picking any old locks, your Masterlocks are being picked this time, whoa so protection.
"I'm not addicted, I'm just not finished yet"
Best line ever
The one ring card is more expensive than making an exact physical replica of the ring
i really want a charlie and the chocolate factory moment to happen where jimmy down the block buys a booster pack from small shop card shop and wins it
Yeah except in real life, instead of the kindly townsfolk cheering him home and telling him to run home, they punch him in the face and steal the card
@Duncan Van Ooyen I would prefer if they just kick him in his shin, causing him to fall down in pain Peter Griffin style
I feel that the counterfeit could easily be avoided by changing the color of the card (or something about the card) to be completely different when they release it without letting the people know

Yeah that was my thought, they could stamp it besides the 01/01 symbol
Yeah or a serial number that’s not advertised
the trouble then is that either nobody other than WotC knows about the real way of identifying the card, or that everyone knows it and people make counterfeits using it
They already released a video of the front of the card. If they were smart they would put a QR code on the backside for verification.
Damn, Charlie’s gonna hit his peek this year. First he 99’d all his stats in Runescape, now he’s completed his card collection.
next he is gonna finish dnd

Damn I didn't know he maxed finally, I knew he was close but I don't watch his liveatreams so I didn't know he was back on the osrs grind
@@duncanedgin9433 Yeah, he did a main channel video about it
I remeber reading about counterfeits when the original Pokemon TCG came out.
I think there's like two possibilities for this card. Either Wizards is 100% hands off, in a "this is a marketing ploy and when the set releases it has already done it's job (also our lawyers are going to murder us if we do something weird)" kinda way. Or, if they want to make sure it gets opened soon after release, they'll make sure that it ends up at a big game store, where people open a lot of packs.
This did happen with the serialized ragavan. Star city games opened that hoe lickity split
gotta love it when wizards exclusively panders to the richest 0.1% of collectors and ignores literally everyone who actually plays their game

Yet these idiots still eat it up instead of playing something else. All the community does is complain while throwing money at wotc.
You say that, but there's still a huge divide between players who want to keep the reserved list and those that just want reprints of every old card
I feel like that's the bigger issue
I personally side with reprinting whatever, because you shouldn't be playing a card game to invest, you should be playing it just to have fun
@@thedudecalledalan9095 It's so dumb, do people just not understand what forced scarcity is? Really nothing is stopping that company from printing a million more of those cards AT ANY TIME. It's literally just a different design with different text. Other than that, all of these cards are exactly the same. The whole thing of people spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on these fucking trading cards is so damn asinine. Sorry, but the way I see it, it's every bit as useless as a fucking NFT. The only difference is one you can hold and one you can't. Other than that...? I mean I understand the people who hunt for cards that are actually, organically rare, as in they're rare because they're really old, and it's because of that reason that they're so valuable, because it's like you're holding a piece of history; that I completely get. But this...people are trying to get these cards in packs that are being made and printed TODAY, just to get cards that are apparently valuable because they're TOLD that they're super rare and valuable by the same damn company that's MAKING the thing.
@@thedudecalledalan9095 Fr. As someone who is an avid MtG player, I want to get more cards that look fun, but other players like to scam :( and WotC loves to pander to the 0.1% instead of reprinting the good cards for us low spenders
Please let the card be an unopened birthday gift from grandma that sits in the attic for decades
I wasn't going to buy cards, but for charlie eating a shoe that's priceless

the addiction part is like:
how did you get rid of you're PH addiction?
Ohh i just watched it all
Charlie need to review little person slap fight 😂😂
When I was in like, 2nd grade, I remember a kid saying he had one of those foil shadowless charizards from the original set. He proceeded to proudly pull out a crumbled ball of paper from his back pocket that was once a pokemon card...
I imagine a similar fate for this card, assuming it ever gets pulled.
I was that kid. But I showed a Polaroid of Mt first edition shadowless charizard. Because everyone was stealing everyone's entire collections and battle decks every day.
Thus stared my 2 decade weird obsession to collect every charizard I could from every set.
When Logan Paul and Leon the two cuck boys R US.
Pump and dump scammed the Markey with the fat loser dad that stole his charizards from his son.
Artificially causing a run on the collector card market. In which they had the connection to WOTC as well as the domination of youtube influence. They named their price.
My collection of unopened booster boxes from when I was in 2nd grade and 3rd in 1999 and 2000. Up until evolution. My pack fresh charizard variation collection from first edition shadowless till evolution. Skipping a few I just got to busy with life or couldn't pull myself or buy for under $20.
Was worth more than any dollar amount I could even imagine winning in a lottery. Life changing.
What was devastating was all my life and weird casual hobby I kept as tradition from my childhood. Meant too much to get me to sell. I had gone so long just struggling to figure out next month's bill. The thought of selling my childhood made me sick. I did have alot of other cards from every set all having atleast 2 pack fresh copies and many others just left in penny sleeves stacked in my gun safe.
I was able to liquidate the un needed for enough to now be making more than I spent in a year back then. From my career and a comfortable amout just in interest each year from investments.
I kept my charizard collection. Worth not even 1/60th of what they were during the market manipulation. Yet I have no regret.
Something I realized about this card is since it’s 1/1 the card can LITERALLY be in any condition possible, it could even be torn in half and the value of the card would remain
Not that anybody would spend a mil anyway but still
Funny thing is, wotc showed this card lying on table, and this foiled bitch is curved. Built-in counterfeit protection xD
If it was torn in half a lot of nerds would be really pissed off
Imo you should either throw it into a real volcano, or keep it pristine though.
If I pulled it I would rip it infront of whoever wants it and still try and collect.
The only way the card would be pulled within 3 weeks is if they had knowledge of when and where the card is getting shipped to, and would have to work with that specific retail store to ensure the pallet with the card somewhere inside is all set out on the shelves within that 3 week period. Otherwise it will likely sit in a distribution center or back of a store for weeks or months.
I don't think the set is instantly dead when the card is pulled. I think Charlie is SEVERELY underestimating the overlap of MTG and Tolkien fandoms.
That company did say that it wasn't supposed to be a timed offer. That being said I hope the card went through the same printing process as all the other cards and it gets misprinted down the middle onto 2 cards.
Completing an addiction is my favorite piece of Charlie lore. If he defeated his fear of plane rides, that's probably the only thing that could beat it.
Imagine how hype it would be to see it pulled on a stream though lmao
The converyor belt idea made me giggle😂
WotC released a pic of the irl one ring. Beside the dirty gloves used to hold the card, we can see it already a Pringle.
The way he beat his addiction is literally that Modern problems require modern solutions meme
My farts are better than Charlie’s farts.
my vidoes are 10x better 🔥🔥🔥

They also have the power to when and where the card is released, they can full well sneak it into a box and 'release' it after the bounty expiry date
Well the bounty is not by wizards of the coast. Wizards have the card not this company.
''I just got called a loser'' 🤣
The three-week deadline is also likely to prevent people from submitting counterfeits. I've been in the proxy game, and making quality proxies usually takes at least a month. A convincing counterfeit would likely take much longer to produce, so there's almost no way one could be produced within that three-week window.
if I thought that the cards I possibly got years ago were even worth over $50 I'd be an addict.

That point near the end does ring true to me; honestly I think the idea of a "1-of" card is cool, just for the sake of collecting. But this is _Wizards_ here, it is genuinely _more_ likely than not they there will be shenanigans involved. They can't help themselves, there's literally no way they'll just randomly slip this card into a box and just full-send.
Just an update, post Malone bought the card for 2 mill
Gotta clip that part about him eating his shoe
