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. There’s a vein of ancient cards that are worth a ton on something called the Reserved List, which basically can’t be printed again (because they need a break glass in emergency fund and they’re 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.

I was looking for this because I still get my cardshit news from reddit. And wowza people were incredibly butthurt about this product that they don't have to buy. Like this ship sailed long ago with regards to integrity-in-business (lol) and I guess people are finally noticing?
