Post Malone breaks into his $2 million The One Ring, stressing out a whole room of Magic: The Gathering players: 'our insurance doesn't cover that card'

This is a rich person bit I'm too poor to understand.

Post Malone breaks into his $2 million The One Ring, stressing out a whole room of Magic: The Gathering players: 'our insurance doesn't cover that card'

At the young age of six, the biggest financial blunder struck Post Malone. Instead of buying property during the 2008 recession or claiming a valuable domain name, the young Elie brought a pristine Umbreon Undaunted holo card to the playground against his father's advice. This $20,000 card has since been damaged, but in the high-stakes realm of trading card games (TCGs), it pales in comparison to Magic: The Gathering's exclusive The One Ring card, valued at $2 million.

When Post Malone displayed his prized possession during an MTG Commander session, the entire room erupted in collective stress and fear. Co-host Josh Lee Kwai even joked about the drinks spilled moments earlier, while Rachel Weeks likened the situation to a heart attack. The card was technically protected within its smaller slab, but the collective concern was undeniable.

After all, not everyone can handle a one-of-a-kind card worth $2 million. Josh Lee Kwai pointed out that their insurance wouldn't cover such a specific scenario, adding to the valid freak-out.
