Description: Magic The Gathering ✨RING OF GIX FOIL ✨Urza’s Legacy NM/M RARE ARTIFACT 1999 Reserve List UNPLAYED Unplayed- Card went directly to sleeve ! This listing is for RING OF GIX FOIL a RARE Artifact in NM/M UNPLAYED Condition from the URZA’S LEGACY release in 1999 The earliest Vintage MTG FOIL cards are becoming extremely difficult to come by in high grade UNPLAYED condition ! …More information about foil cards below. Gorgeous Original Vintage MTG ARTWORK by Mark Tedin The URZA’S BLOCK ( URZA’S Saga, Legacy & Destiny ) releases launched a slew of extremely powerful and useful cards in Rares, Uncommons and Commons … Many of these cards were eventually banned for tournament play due to the ability to win a match in the lowest number of moves ever ! This makes valuations extremely challenging for collectors as some of “Common” cards are valued considerably higher than “Rare”cards and pricing disparities are all over the spectrum… Adding to this disparity was the introduction of FOIL CARDS for the first time into Magic The Gathering which further increased pricing valuations as foils particularly from the URZA’S LEGACY set trade at multiples of anywhere from 5x to 20x non foil versions … RING OF GIX is listed as a Reserve List Card by Wizards of the Coast… Information about RESERVE LIST CARDS & FOIL CARDS - Appropriately the most Valuable cards in Magic are cards that are designated on the Reserve list by Wizards of the Coast assuring Collectors and Investors that these cards will not be reprinted in a tournament legal form or as a functionally identical card under a different name. Additionally Starting with the Mercadian Masques release ( 1999) WOTC decided to stop adding additional cards to the Reserve List which gives considerably more inherent value to these rare and unique cards. FOIL CARD INFORMATION - With the Release of URZA’S LEGACY in 1999 Wizards Of The Coast introduced Foil Cards to MTG players and collectors alike through Booster Packs. The Foil cards appeared one every few packs (taking the place of another card) with RARE FOILS appearing one per booster box. FOIL CARD dispersion estimates per Wizards of the Coast: Common Foils - 1 per every 30 - 45 MTG cards Uncommon Foils - 1 per every 120 - 160 MTG cards Rare Foils - 1 per every 450 - 600 MTG cards Due to nature of FOIL CARD production with a Metallic coating applied over card stock FOIL CARDS are notoriously difficult to find in HIGH GRADE CONDITION and even tougher to survive the rigorous professional grading service companies protocol on card grading. Mailed via USPS mail with tracking number information.
