A Magic: The Gathering card shop recently got the chance to take in one of the most elusive cards in the storied game's history, complete with a copy of the original receipt. The beloved card game from Wizards of the Coast has seen plenty of highly sought-after cards throughout its history, with many selling for thousands of dollars. Cards like the seralized one-of-a-kind version of "The One Ring" have even fetched millions, with Post Malone buying the card for more than $2 million USD. However, one card has gained a legendary reputation among the game's fanbase.

Of all the thousands of cards added to Magic: the Gathering throughout the more than three decades since its launch, "Black Lotus" has taken on an identity of its own among fans. Black Lotus stands as one of the most powerful cards ever introduced to Magic: the Gathering, first debuting in the Alpha version of the game in August 1993. Black Lotus has gained legendary status as one of the game's most prized possessions, with signed copies selling for as high as $800,000. Now, one card shop has picked up an unusual copy of the card.
