MTG Collector Acknowledges The One Ring Must Be Destroyed – $50K Bounty Issued
After offering $100,000 for the one “The One Ring” Magic card, a new offer has emerged: cast it into the fires of Mt. Doom.
The Ring of Power, the One Ring which binds all others to its name, is a powerful, and evil ring. It is the instrument of Sauron, who deceived elven kings, dwarf-lords, and mortal men, doomed to die. It is also an extremely rare collector’s Magic card that previously had a $100k bounty out for it. The offer came courtesy of Magic collector Dan Bock. With a “standing offer” of $100k for the single 001/001 The One Ring made as part of the Lord of the Rings Universes Beyond set.
And now, Bock is back with another offer, it seems. Destroy the ring the only way possible, by casting it into the fires of Mount Doom. Or, y’know, a Volcano. Where you can throw it into the fire together.
Cast The One Ring Into A Volcano Make 50K
The new offer is only half the value, but the experience is legendary. The new offer reads:
“If you find the ring, I’ll pay you $50k, and we throw it into a volcano together.”
Because how often will it come up in your life that you can redeem that moment, 3000 years ago, when the strength of men failed.
Perhaps you’ll be able to prove that the race of men is not failing. That the blood of Numenor has not been spent. Or will you give into the temptation of the Ring, and standing on the precipice of the heart of the volcano, will you be unable to cast it into the fire?
The choice may fall to one lucky Magic player. Of course there’s no guarantee that it will even be found. For there’s only a single One Ring, a serialized foil version that will be placed inside just one booster pack. Will all the booster packs be opened? Or will they end up in a landfill, buried, waiting to be discovered in another age?
There is only one Lord of the Rings, and he does not share power.
