The One Ring card, from the card game’s Lord of the Rings-themed card set was released in June, and like the ring from the J.R.R. Tolkien universe, there was only one produced.
As it turns out, the card ended up in the hands of a Canadian: Toronto collector Brook Trafton, who wound up selling it to Post Malone.
On Twitter, Trafton shared a video of him selling the card to the rapper, writing that meeting Post Malone and having him buy the card was “my dream come true.”
Trafton added to Malone and Magic: The Gathering, “you’ve changed my life. Things like this don’t happen to people like me. Forever grateful.”

He also wrote more about the experience of selling the card in a post on Instagram.
“When I found the One Ring, the first person who came to mind was @postmalone. I have played MTG since I was a kid and obviously it would be amazing to keep this card. But for a guy like me, being able to sell it is life changing,” Trafton said.
“I just really hoped it would go to someone who would appreciate it as much as I do. This is my dream come true, meeting @postmalone and him buying the One Ring card from me is literally a moment straight out of a fairytale. @postmalone @wizards_magic you have changed my life. Things like this don’t happen to people like me, I guess it’s magic. I am forever
