In case you’re wondering where it ended up, a video has just emerged of Post Malone purchasing the coveted ‘The One Ring’ card at a games store in Toronto, Canada.
You can watch the surprisingly emotional transaction here!
Magic The Gathering player Brook Trafton just sold the card to Post Malone, sharing a video of the exchange to TikTok.
“When I first found the One Ring, the first person who came to mind was Post Malone,” he said.
“I have played MTG since I was a kid and obviously it would be amazing to keep this card. But for a guy like me, being able to sell it is life-changing.
“I just really hoped it would go to someone who would appreciate it as much as I do.”
“This is my dream come true, meeting Post Malone and him buying the One Ring card from me is literally a moment straight out of a fairytale.
“Post Malone, Magic: The Gathering you have changed my life. Things like this don’t happen to people like me, I guess it’s magic. I’m forever grateful.”
Speaking to Dexerto, Trafton described finding the card as a “life-changing moment”.
“Every time I read something or see a video, I get hit with a wave of joy. Like watching Cash Cards Unlimited’s live stream and seeing what he speculates the card to be worth.
“Meanwhile, the whole time I’m smiling from ear to ear with it in my hands! It’s just amazing.”
While the Sunflower singer and the seller remained tight-lipped on the exact price of the card, it was valued at a crazy $2 million.
Post Malone reportedly bought it for well over that amount too.
The comment section of the video, which has already been watched 3.2m times (at the time of writing) went wild with fans of the rapper/singer and MTG.
“For anyone wondering, Post Malone bought the card for $2.6 million,” one man said (a claim which has not been verified).
“I’m glad it went to an actual player. ‘grats man,” another said.
“I can’t think of a better place for he most limited mgt ever circulated than with posty.”
Trafton plans to use the proceeds to “invest and set up my future”.
As Post Malone sums it up in the video, the moment truly is the “the ‘dankest sh*t ever”.
