For context, WOTC sells cardboard lottery tickets at hilarious prices on the condition that the cards are legal for play somewhere, and have value based on some nebulous axis of availability and desirability. Thereβs a vein of ancient cards that are worth a ton on something called the Reserved List, which basically canβt be printed again (because they need a break glass in emergency fund and theyβre making enough money without them.)
Today they announced a reprint of the original Magic set, as a limited run box of 4 random boosters full of non legal cards. For $999 US per box.
So for the cost of or a chunk of the cost of some of the priciest collectibles in that original set (or a rent check), you can buy 4 packs that might contain a proxy printing of one of those cards.
$999 for 4 booster packs.

The regular players should be happier about this, the faster they make collectors go broke the better
