Magic: The Gathering Black Lotus Limited Edition (Alpha) BGS Mint 9/Auto 10 (Wizards of the Coast, 1993) Signed by Christopher Rush. Featured here is a rare opportunity to purchase the most sought-after trading card in existence, the Alpha Edition Black Lotus. This card is part of the most powerful group of cards in the entire game, known as the Power Nine. The nine cards can't win you the game, but they sure do make things a lot easier! By playing the Black Lotus, you can add three mana of any color. Imagine if you could play it your first turn! Wizards of the Coast released the Alpha Edition on August 5th, 1993, and it was an instant success, forcing WOTC to print the Beta Edition a mere two months later. With a print run of 1,100 copies, this card is scarce in any condition, let alone in Mint condition. Along with its high grade, the card has also been signed by the artist himself, Christopher Rush! BGS has awarded the autograph a grade of 10. The card's sub-grades are as follows: centering (9.5), corners (8.5), edges (9), and surface (9.5). BGS has certified 69 copies earning a Mint 9 grade with only 46 graded higher. Don't miss this amazingly rare opportunity to add this holy grail of a card to your collection!
