From the 281 card set, 20 Mythic Rare’s were given the Borderless Poster treatment illustrated by Brothers Hildebrandt, and each received 100 serialized printings. Prices of the serialized Borderless Poster Mythic Rare LTR cards remain at the top of the secondary market charts, ranging in price from $500 to $1,750. All market prices are based on near-mint conditions of the MTG card. Prices are also subject to change since the time of writing.

Here are the most expensive MTG Lord of the Rings serialized borderless poster foil cards.

  • Sauron, the Dark Lord borderless serialized poster foil #744: Average price of $1,500
  • Witch-king of Angmar borderless serialized poster foil #736: Average price of $1,050

The serialized The One Ring MTG card from LTR will go down in history as the most expensive card of all time, thanks to Post Malone. Serialized cards are extremely hard to pull, hence the obnoxious prices. But they aren’t the only MTG Lord of the Rings cards worth money.
