You can go to a good print shop and get yourself an entire stack of Black Lotus proxies for a few bucks. It is the most heavily counterfeited card in the series
Which is probably why that’s the one they chose for this picture; it being a counterfeit and not an original, of course
I got like 3 or 4 of these kicking around. I was gonna toss em. Maybe I’ll try this out.
I’m not even into magic and I’m offended
I know two friends… who would absolutely lynch you for doing this.
Anyway, it has been fun following them and occasionally ask “whats this card worth?” and general answer has been 5-50€ a card. The cards can be worth more than literal money.
The problem is that this specific card is worth 5.000-18.000$

No, I do not know why
Because it’s the most powerful card in the 30 years the game has been around and the 1st printing (alpha) was very limited so there are not very many in existence.
18 grand is a steal. Lotus can be much more in decent condition. The depiction in the Post is worth 1 - 2 Teslas.
Better do that to your used blacker lotuses
i love that you are supposed to rip it into piece, but only after you tabbed it
Lmao I love that joke series
Is there a higher resolution image of this? I want to print it but there’s too much JPEG
This is as high res as I could find. The real thing isn’t too expensive though.
Just got death threats from my magic friends XD
Totally. This person needs to put some mod podge on top to protect the paper and add weight.
I did this as a kid to make ‘pogs’ lol
“Here’s my Nolan Ryan rookie pog and here’s my Hologram Charizard pog.”
Oh man
I need a ttrpg with a pogs battle mechanic
Don’t give WOTC any ideas.
This is enough of a crime to lock you up in a jail for the rest of your lifetime.
Oof. That’s gonna diminish the value a tad.
And yet the listing would still probably say “near mint condition”.
It’s much more mint shaped now, so I guess that’s correct…
No one has yet mentioned the part of the border that has been cut? I’m deceived.
Huh? You can see a bit of the card border on the edge of the token if that’s what you mean…
I was just joking about the common OCDish reactions on the internet in this type of situations.
But this is one of my favorite cards… quite offensive!
Live the adventure.
