The card seller stated (in their **eBay listing) it was; "the holy grail of non sports cards in the finest condition ever graded by BGS. To date, BGS has only graded two examples with 2 pristine 10 subgrades. Only 1 point away from being a six figure Pristine 10. The surface looks pristine as well and is worthy of being reviewed!"
Why's It Rare?
The Black Lotus is considered to be the most valuable of the Magic cards ever released. The Alpha version in particular is extremely rare, due to its limited print run of 1,100.
