Multi-national auction house, Heritage Auctions, has announced they will be auctioning off a Gem Mint condition Beta Black Lotus.
Recognized by many as Magic’s most iconic card, this particular Black Lotus has been graded a 9.5/10 by Beckett Grading Services (BGS) and is one of only 57 estimated to be in existence.
While no predicted price has been mentioned, an Alpha Black Lotus previously sold for $166,100 back in March of 2019, and since then the collectables market has been booming.
Similarly, while it has not sold yet, a BGS Pristine 10 Beta Black Lotus is currently being offered by Vintage Magic for a whopping $505,888.88.
While the difference between a 9.5 and perfect 10 may be significant, we can still expect to see this Lotus fetch a very high price.
The auction is currently scheduled to take place January 14-17, during the Comics & Comic Art Signature Auction in Dallas, TX.
