While an unconfirmed Twitter picture indicates that this shiny one-of-a-kind edition may have already been opened, its promised existence has already inspired a bidding frenzy that would make even Gollum blush (a Spanish game store leads, as of this writing, with an offer of 2 million euros and a paella dinner).
Tales of Middle-earth is the game's highest profile "Universes Beyond" product yet, capturing headlines through an ingenious marketing ploy. While I was lucky enough to snatch a normal printing of "The One Ring," another, far more exclusive version was forged — literally the only of its kind. It was seeded into a Collector Booster pack, a deluxe product that contains 15 randomized cards.

. . .As if these weren’t damning enough, however, recently, many MTG players have been pointing out that serialized cards may not be actually worth anything. . .If, or rather once, serialized MTG cards stop being special, it’s possible that prices may plummet to new lows. For better or worse, however, it’s likely this won’t happen to every single serialized MTG card. Playable and beloved cards, such as Sol Ring, for instance, are likely to retain much of their value. This has already been proven by the ultra-rare Kaladesh Invention Sol Ring.

A Toronto retail worker made an unbelievable discovery this summer and is now $2m (£1.57m) richer for it.
Brook Trafton found a rare collectable game card for table-top fantasy game Magic: The Gathering (MTG).
As a lifetime player of the game, he tells BBC News that finding the card was a "childhood dream".
"I was overwhelmed with joy and emotion," he says. "How can someone like me actually find something so astronomical?"
When Mr Trafton called the store he bought the pack from to ask how to verify its authenticity, they first hung up on him - thinking it was a prank.
