MTG players question longevity of serialized cards and their worth

Heading into the holiday break, players are questioning whether serialized Magic: The Gathering cards can sustain their hype and profitability on the secondary market going forward.

Wizards of the Coast changed MTG forever with the release of Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth through a serialized The One Ring card. The highly sought-after one-of-one card helped bring in an astonishing amount of money for WotC and Hasbro while earning the lucky fan who pulled The One Ring $2 million in a private sale to Post Malone. It also started a trend, with even more serialized cards showing up in the second holiday LTR drop. Despite the overwhelming success of including serialized cards in Magic packs, a Reddit user recently questioned whether WotC needs to change things up to keep the hype for chase cards alive. And the community responded.
