I honestly don’t buy that there is a pristine 10 Alpha Black Lotus in existence. The fact that they’re claiming a 10 makes me extremely skeptical of all of this.
Pretty much anything out of the package gets an automatic 9.8 at MOST.
They’d give a card fresh off the printing block a 9.9 at best.
Someone look up if you can dodge taxes with this
Were there different version of this card? I feel like I had one of these at some point
There’s Alpha, Beta and Revised. It’s on the reserve list so won’t be reprinted again. But there’s been a lot of lotus-style cards over the years
They can reprint it as a judge promo or official unplayable card like in the 30th edition lol.
@JackbyDev @MysticKetchup judge promos are completely playable. That one’s out
You’re correct. My mistake. https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/announcements/official-reprint-policy
Premium Cards
A previous version of this policy allowed premium versions of cards on the reserved list to be printed. Starting in 2011, no cards on the reserved list will be printed in either premium or non-premium form.
@JackbyDev @MysticKetchup judge promos no longer exist and after a few reserved list judge promos they did a reserved list promo in a wider distribution and the reaction caused WotC to update the policy to not allow those printings to happen again.
Alpha, Beta and Unlimited
Yeah, correct, I mixed up Unlimited and Revised
@MysticKetchup did Post Malone buy it?
I believe the buyer’s name is hidden, which makes this all the more suspicious. I mean this is like 6x the price of the most recent highly graded alpha Lotus, which was only a year ago.
