There's money in Magic: The booming business of rare game cards
A full foil sheet of Magic: The Gathering cards signed by the game's head designer Mark Rosewater is pictured at 2019 Comic-Con, in San Diego, Calif.
Post Malone is known for smashing music-streaming records, but the pop star is also raising the bar in a more niche arena.
The musician, a super fan of the fantasy tabletop card game Magic: The Gathering, just bought a one-of-a-kind card from the game in a record sale, helping boost a growing trend that's made game cards almost as popular as sports cards.
Another fan who pulled the newly released Magic card, depicting the golden ring from the Lord of the Rings trilogy, sold it to Post Malone for a reported $2 million. It's the first time the price of a playing card from Magic — which hasn't previously seen the same kind of mainstream success as other trading card games like Pokémon — crossed the seven-figure mark.
"It's kind of like the first time a baseball card ever sold for a million dollars," said Ken Goldin, a longtime sports memorabilia collector and owner of Goldin Auctions. "To all of the tens of millions of collectors in the world who collect Magic: The Gathering, it basically has solidified their collection and says 'Hey, this is serious business.' "
It's the latest sign that trading card games sector is gaining a strong foothold in a global industry that for more than a century has been dominated by sports cards. Thanks to nostalgic Gen Z and Millennials, who grew up collecting game cards in the 1990s and 2000s, fantasy characters are now giving star athletes a run for their money.
A few conditions are driving the market popularity of TCGs, the industry's shorthand for the category. During the pandemic, people went digging through basements collections find out how much their old Pokémon, Yu-gi-oh! and Magic cards were worth. The spree led to enormous backlogs at companies that authenticate and assess the condition of cards. Some companies expanded their operations to keep up with the demand. The release of new sets with rare cards and celebrity purchases have further fueled the excitement.
Game card authentication activity is at an all-time high
Last month, the number of TCG cards people had graded was closer than ever to eclipsing that in the sports card category. Grading, a prerequisite for listing collectibles for auction on secondary market sites like eBay, can affect the card's price. On a 1-10 scale, cards are graded on their visual appeal based a number of factors that include coloring, centering and condition, with 10 being the highest score.
Professional Sports Authenticator, which holds a majority of the card grading market, saw more than 514,000 TCG cards in July, according to data compiled by GemRate, a company that tracks grading activity; the number of sports cards graded over the same period was about 528,000. That's five times the number of game cards PSA graded two years ago.
There are many different opinions about this, but I found great success by shipping every order with tracking until I reached Level 4. To avoid losing money, it’s best to only list cards worth $5 or more during this phase.
Confused and startled, he quickly realized the gravity of the situation. Not only had his appearance changed, but he now had to navigate life as a woman. As Ethan, now known as Emily, started to adjust to her new life, she faced countless challenges. The villagers, who once admired her as a man, now treated her differently. Some showed sympathy, while others openly mocked her. Emily couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of loneliness and isolation. However, as time passed, Emily began to find strength within herself. She learned to embrace her new identity and found support from unexpected sources. There were individuals in the village who accepted her for who she truly was, offering her kindness and understanding. Emily's journey taught her valuable life lessons about empathy, gender equality, and the importance of acceptance. She realized that one's identity is not defined by their physical appearance, but rather by their spirit and character. This newfound wisdom empowered her to break free from the shackles of societal norms and expectations. Meanwhile, the witch watched Emily's transformation from a distance, impressed by her resilience and personal growth. She decided to reverse the spell, returning Emily to her original form as Ethan. The villagers, witnessing the power of empathy and acceptance, also underwent a transformation of their own. They learned to see beyond surface-level differences and accepted Emily, or Ethan, for the person they truly were. Together, the villagers and Emily created a community that celebrated diversity, embracing each individual's uniqueness. The witch, no longer interested in her tricks, decided to use her magic for good and became an advocate for inclusivity and understanding. And so, the tale of the witch turning a man into a woman ended not with fear or prejudice, but with a message of unity and acceptance. Through this transformative experience, the village and its inhabitants learned the value of compassion and empathy, forever changing their lives for the better..
