    Well we know what post Malone did with some of it. He bought that stupid magic the gathering card for like $2 million.

      As a magic fan I’m pretty sour at Posty for this. Loved that he brought more mainstream attention to magic, but not like this. Mr Down To Earth is counting his beans just like the rest of them I guess.

        The whole thing is a stain tbh on MTG. Clearly just a way to make money moving sealed product as people hoped to pull it and instantly resell it.
