Hunt for the $2,000,000 Magic the Gathering Lord of the Rings Card

[@Ebbie155]

same here havent played in months though lol

[@garrygrapenuts6137]

It’s the same with pokemon and other card sets, 99.9% of trading card channels don’t give a shit about any of the stuff the open or show on their channels. It’s all about views and money to them. Also, that in turn skyrockets prices of cards because of the little five year olds and wannabe “ebay business CEO’s” who buy up and open all of the old sets and open it like they are in endless supply and bring so much attention to new sets that they become unaffordable to the target audience which are the kids that they are supposed to be marketed too. Fuck dude it pisses me off.

[@AVarghul]

I KNOW RIGHT?! Every single one of the Magic booster openings is all about the money, the investment returns for them. Motherfuckers, it's cardboard with glitter on it. The only one making bank out of MTG is Hasbro you dunces.

[@RedRumOnE]

I can't STAND the state of MTG magic content. The professor is the main offender. He claims to love magic but trashes it every chance he gets, not realizing he's part of the problem buying so much product driving up the demand for a game made for 13 yr olds.

[@BEANCO-td1hr]

@@RedRumOnE magic isn't for 13 yr olds, it's always been catered to adults and teens. also the professor advocates to not buy product and to instead buy singles. He only trashes the greedy corporate aspects of the game, and trust me no 13 yr old can afford to buy sealed products.

The security company in charge stole the monopoly pieces and a worker sold them to people he knew. With the value of this ring card. There is just absolutely no possible way it hasnt been stolen.

[@colecarignan7032]

If anyone is curious about the financial viability of this, I did a full breakdown on the video. Please note this is all in USD. Any card worth less than $2 is NOT included, as selling them is a pain in the ass, no one wants bulk. Currently a pack of this set is $42. I believe Max cracked 38 packs (3 boxes, 3 box toppers, not sure about the other 2 packs?) So in total he would’ve spent $1,596. Only 4 of those 38 packs managed to break even, and ultimately Max opened $805 worth of cards, losing a total of $791 on the packs. Take this as a warning, this is high risk gambling, no one should be doing this if you don’t go in accepting that you will lose money. Odds of making money or breaking even on this set is terrible. For those interested; Box 1 (+Topper) - -$178 Box 2 (+Topper) - -$329 Box 3 (+Topper) - -$211 And he lost $74 on packs 13 and 14. If anyone notices any issues lmk.

Hi Max, MTG nerd here. So, the full arts that are labeled prerelease and bundle are for two other products: The pre-release kits that contained one of those additional promos and the bundles which contain the Frodo, Samwise, Smegol, and The One Ring that go together into the art collages. WOTC printed them all on the same sheet, so in collector boosters you get those cards as well. Hope you open more MTG in the future, pulls were pretty spicy tbh.

[@OvershadowAeon]

Set Logos (middle right of each card) and Letter Marks; Black/C = Common Silver/U = Uncommon Gold/R = Rare Copper/M =Mythic P = Promo/ Picture design If the set symbol is shield shaped, the card was made for the Commander Decks and not available in Draft packs. If you do this again, look up the full Picture Scenes and try complete them. Seems like a fun puzzle goal. Also, in Collector's packs and Box Toppers, look out for the cards with a second name underneath. Those are desired cards that have been reprinted but with LotR flavour renames. They are usually worth bank. Also; Don't Throw the Tokens. You can make lots of them in game, so some people want to have like a stack of 40 to carry around for their deck. Because they need so many, they can be worth a few bucks. There was a case last year where WotC underprinted a token accidentally and it was worth like £30 even though you can use anything in place of a token, like a piece of receipt paper or dice or a mini-model or whatever. People who wanted the official token paid out the nose for it.

The P is to signify that those cards were available as pre release promo’s. There’s so many mythic’s and foils because it’s a collectors box, in a set booster box of 36 packs you’ll generally get 1 foil per pack and maybe 4 mythics in a box.

[@reydo17]

[@bailijay]

Tip for telling rarities in MTG for future stuff. The symbol on the middle right of the card is colored based on rarity. Black/White symbol = common. Silver = Uncommon. Gold = Rare. Orange = Mythic. The symbol itself is different based off what set release the cards are from as well.

[@weebcraft6829]

People spammed that last MTG video and he still hasn't picked it up. Don't bother

[@petulantpeterturbo]

Also the whole thing with the mythics is, in regular packs, they're sometimes a hell of a lot rarer than they are in the collector packs. I say sometimes because sometimes some sets have a ton of mythics. And a card being mythic rare isn't just about how rare it is, its also how good the card tends to be in game. They don't always succeed, but wizards of the coast tries to make mythic rare cards have the best effects and abilities. The cheap Gandalf and Frodo mythics mean those specific mythics aren't nearly as good in game, which youre more likely to see in the collector booster box. Where mythics really start getting cool is in both the regular set and draft booster boxes.

[@Charwhale]

Been playing magic for over a decade, the rarity letters in the bottom left of the card are confusing if you've never played before because it includes things like prerelease and other stuff, the best way to find rarity is the color of the set symbol on the right side below the art, black is common, silver is uncommon, gold is rare, and orange is mythic. Most magic packs have 1 rare or mythic and possibly 1 foil in them, but these are collector boosters, the only way to get the special ring in this set. Collector boosters generally cost 5x more than a normal set/draft booster because they contain mostly foils, at least 4 rares or mythics, a bunch of alternate art cards, and even some cards not from the direct set, being some prerelease cards and some of the commander deck cards. Generally the higher the rarity the higher the value, but there are plenty of bulk mythics, rares, uncommons, and commons, and plenty of valuable commons, uncommons, rares, and mythics. There are many cases where the lower rarity card can outvalue the higher rarity card, usually that's based on playability. Orcish Bowmasters are a rare and outprice most mythics, and Nazgul is an uncommon that outprices many rares and mythics. The value of modern magic cards generally comes from playability, like the normal one ring, and rarity in some cases, like the 1/1 ring. The LotR set is a universes beyond set, so it's a set that has cards from LotR and has reprints of previous cards in the style of LotR, which is why some of the cards have seemingly two names, one below the other, or sometimes just different art of the old cards. An example of this is at 14:23 it's called Bag End in this set but the card effect is Horizon Canopy. Collector boosters are notorious for misprints, crimping, curled foils, and other errors. Sorry for the long writeup, tried to answer any questions. But, great job, always love to see you open MtG, would love to see you do some more!

Speculation seems to be that the 1 of 1 ring won't even show up in these collector boosters that are going for $500+. There is another product coming out in a few weeks that contain a few normal packs, where there is no chance to pull the 1 of 1, but also 1 collector pack like the ones from what Max is opening. Those were originally supposed to retail for less that $50, but now are going for $300+. It would make zero sense for Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast to release such a product, weeks after this one, with insanely higher mark up when the 1 of 1 ring had already been pulled. Wizards and Hasbro did something similar with the 1 of 500 Ragavan, a very desirable expensive card, rom a previous set by funneling that exact serialized card to one of their number one partner in the secondary marketplace. It was set up to get pulled before actual release to help generate extra excitement, drive clicks and engagement, and set an extremely overvalued price ceiling. Wizards of the Coast have participated in many similar types of manipulation over the years, so buyer beware.

They’re not making any more money one way or the other. Resellers would, sure. Not hasbro. And there is more than one card that has a serial number.

[@jeremysmith4620]

@@Carl_McMelvin If you think Hasbro doesn't profit when RETAIL box prices rise, I hate to break it to you, but you are very wrong. First off, the whole reason that WotC wiped suggested retail pricing years ago is so that they could directly profit from their products immediately selling at a higher price point than what was MSRP at the time. You do realize that one of the largest sellers of Magic online is Amazon, right? You know those prices are on Amazon adjusted with the market and booster, collector, set, etc prices are moved with the market to ensure they are roughly always 5% to 10% or so less than products found on TCG player/Ebay/Etc. Well you know WotC/Hasbro runs that store, right? So there is already one place where you were mistaken. Secondly WotC will inflate prices on secondary and subsequent restocks on products to distributors to directly reflect the upswing of market prices due to value and demand. Once MSRP was abolished WotC had more room to negotiate not only set to set and product to product with distributors, but shipment to shipment. Many distributors have felt as if some hot products had parts of their initial sell through reduced in order for Wizards to shift more product to the secondary or subsequent restocks in order to fluff profits even further. For my third point, not the last because there are more, but just to make sure you understand what you are talking about. WotC always profits from higher sales prices even if not directly through the previously listed 2 methods. Raised prices means raised secondary market value and raised reprint equity. Wizards strategically manipulates how many ties some desirable rares and mythics appear on sheets to drive prices on highly desirable cards. This leads to increased profits in a multitude of ways. First people buy more product, which would mean more secondary, tertiary, etc restocks they can directly alter prices on like mentioned above. It also build critical reprint equity through this somewhat artificial card value. They constrain the supply to sell more on the front end which means increased prices on the backend for singles pricing. It is this exact method that allows them to even produce the wildly profitable reprint sets they do ever year from Modern Masters era up to now by building reprint sets to sell at retail that wouldn't have been able to exist without these manipulations of the market. Hope that helped clear a few things up for you. Have a great night.

So there are different products that MTG has. Prerelease, is for the week before official release where players can open packs and play the formats of 'draft' and 'sealed' (traditionally speaking). 'Bundle' represents the different bundles in which you can buy and receive 'promo' cards (denoted by bundle). I'm fairly certain that all these different cards are thrown into the pools of collector booster packs as it is the most expensive but has many 'slots' for rares and mythics in the packs. In regards to the borders, from what I know there are 3 different types in this set. Regular, The Ring Border and Full Art, all of which can be found with a foil variant too. Oh and the rarities go: common (black background set symbol), uncommon (silver), rare (gold) and mythic (orange).

[@Stooboot]

some of these prices are insane. curious to see what they look like 6 months from now

[@RealGarfield]

MtG and LotR nerd here to help, as requested. A Collector Booster contains 15 cards: 1 Traditional Foil double-sided token A combination of 5 cards of rarity Rare or higher 4 Uncommon cards 5 Common cards and 1 Land card Also, in the LotR set there are 24 Full Art cards that can form large art works. There are: 18 cards that form Lord of the Rings Battle for Pelennor Fields 6 cards that form Bilbo’s birthday party 4 cards that form Frodo, Sam and Gollum struggle over the Ring at Mount Doom 35:48 Love your content Max, keep it up!

[@gopatriots1991]

There's more than 24 cards that make a scene, the ones you listed make 28 anyway. There's 53 in the standard set. 4 for the ring battle at mt.doom. 18 at the battle of Pelennor Fields. 6 at bilbos bday. As you listed. THEN, you have 6 at the bridge of khazad dum. 9 for isengard destroyed. 4 on scouring of the shire. 6 for departure to the Grey heavens. THEN there will be 4 special easel scene releases of 6 cards for another 24 total scene cards. So 77 scene cards in all.

[@boaz08]

My god the time and effort spent on this video, price checking every card must have been insane. Great video

[@DreadedEnding]

FYI the one ring won’t be found in a collector booster box, they put it in a different special bundle and delayed its release date to make sure it isn’t found early. They figure most people will hear about the one ring but not know enough about the whole situation to know that it’s basically impossible to pull.

[@bobthenob.]

I can't believe he actually pulled the one ring that's insane

[@HeyJoshyJosh]

What are the odds that someone in the printing factory has already stole the ring?

[@googoogaga7986]

This vid came at the perfect time :o my cat went wandering and she hasn’t returned yet since yesterday, so I’m happy to have a distraction from my worries about her and I love unboxing videos lol, great vid as always!!

Hope you find your cat

Max: I wonder if Magic fans will get mad if I tell them the card quality is shit. MTG Fans: We've literally been complaining about this for over a decade.

Loving it Max!!! The big money hunts are back!

Why, am I so obsessed with this man? 😂 My favorite man child of all time right here!!

[@icholi88]

yes you get a lot of mythics when you buy a collectors box, they are more uncommon in a standard booster box but those boxes are less than half the price so you pay for admission.

[@verlegenemandarine]

awesome max, you always bring a smile to my face

[@BuddyRIP]

my first thought, imagine a kid being the one to pull the ring, or someone who somehow doesnt know how rare that is, and it just never gets "found"

[@wsieber89]

More cordboard rectangles. I love it 😊

[@binchlipusfukaroniiandchee464]

49:14 I know that as you said that, and your brain began to process what you were seeing, and you had to assume it *could* be the 2 mill ring, your heart skipped a small handful of beats and you weren't in reality for that time.

[@Moss_flower]

please open more lotr boxes! this was so fun to watch as a magic player

[@MichaelOBrien-m7r]

I’ve just gotten into playing magic, specifically the lord of the rings set lol , and I can’t believe I’m just finding this! You’re truly the best!

[@gloteee]

this set was actually a genius move by wizards marketing wise

[@TheGosgosh]

Marketing for non-magic players, maybe. Marketing for people who don’t care about LotR, maybe.

[@orphancharmander1168]

Its was a set, just to catch Collectors, but we are busy with Pokemon 😬🇩🇰❤️

[@chasekellow3835]

As an actual magic player who isn’t a whale, I hate this set

[@gloteee]

@@chasekellow3835 yea im sure havent really been into magic since 2015 core set but wizards has been seeming scummy as shit recently

[@Axofpik]

like with pokemon there are different rarity's (from common to mythic rare [ black, silver, gold metallic orange. next to on the same line as card type ] ) along with different styles (such as full art, extended art, alt art and showcase cards ) on top of cards being foil or not.

[@Jmergener]

You should do Flesh and Blood, new set soon!

[@tokemz9344]

the reason you are getting multiple mythics is due to it being collector boosters , draft packs only have a rare with chance at mythic , set boosters can have the same but a art card and chance at more rares/mythics , collectors are the so called blinged out card / more variant's , the P is for cards that also how up in prerelease kits / bundles , bundles are the same as elite trainer boxes , hope this helped

[@SourWeezle]

MAX, WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT. PLEASE OPEN MORE MAGIC IN THE FUTURE!!!

[@SourWeezle]

And yeah, as expensive as this dumpster fucking fire of a set is, you'd imagine the quality control would be much better but, it isn't. Watch how TERRIBLY all those foils curl over the next few days. Most people who are actually PLAYING the game prefer non-foil for two reasons: they're actually playable game pieces (read: not Pringles), and the art looks much better.

[@davidmonheim21]

Max casually opening a thousand dollars worth of packs

[@Otael]

I would genuinely love to watch you open more MTG, I know you're not really into it as a card game or anything but even still its always fun seeing people find cool cards from a system they're largely unfamiliar with.

[@J_Dubb1]

There is a 4 card set panorama (that have "bundle" written at the bottom) and a 6 card set panorama (that have "prerelease" written at the bottom). They are each separate combined images. Oh and the "P" is for PROMO and yes. the prerelease promos are from the prerelease events (can only get them in the collector packs otherwise) and the Bundle promos are from the bundles which should be super easy to get, but seem to be sold out everywhere atm.

[@saml2621]

The foil reminds me of when Pokémon cocked up the reverse holos in the first few ex series sets where it’s too reflective to actually see the art properly

[@killer_crocs9589]

Max can you show us what you do with all the cards when you done opening the set?

[@jonlejcar5306]

52:02 Didnt expect Chad to have his own card

[@kingkoollgs]

I am so glad that this video is NOT FOR KIDS

[@akitosuzume2749]

Reminder: Max had a door and a mirror for his "door" intros. 😂

[@vanzantimagery5392]

Good gawd man- you probably melted that one ring card with that major shart you let rip @ 44:17

[@shawnmcdonald7017]

you pretty much nailed it on the 'p' rarity it means 'promo' and any of the connected-art cards were included during the set's prerelease event as a little extra goodie with the boxes you buy.

[@tannerc43]

Also, the Nazgul card has 9 different arts in the set and it allows you to have 9 Nazgul cards in your deck (I guess that’s why it has value)

[@chiseledmedal2634]

I love how he occasionally goes goblin for the ring

[@HypeNotiQ]

Him passing so many of these cards casually killed me, especially the Nazgûl
