@JackbyDev@MysticKetchup judge promos no longer exist and after a few reserved list judge promos they did a reserved list promo in a wider distribution and the reaction caused WotC to update the policy to not allow those printings to happen again.
I mentioned elsewhere on the thread after a different user corrected me but it might be hard to see from Mastodon. I’m not sure why I had the wrong impression because I began playing after that change.
A previous version of this policy allowed premium versions of cards on the reserved list to be printed. Starting in 2011, no cards on the reserved list will be printed in either premium or non-premium form.
I believe the buyer’s name is hidden, which makes this all the more suspicious. I mean this is like 6x the price of the most recent highly graded alpha Lotus, which was only a year ago.
I honestly don’t buy that there is a pristine 10 Alpha Black Lotus in existence. The fact that they’re claiming a 10 makes me extremely skeptical of all of this.
