Magic: The Gathering Volume X auction lists signed Unlimited Black Lotus
Heritage Auctions' Magic: The Gathering Volume X showcase, set for October 29, 2026, reportedly offers a Black Lotus signed by Christopher Rush and Richard Garfield, three top oversized magazine promos and older sealed Collector Booster boxes.
Heritage Auctions is reportedly running a Magic: The Gathering sale on October 29, 2026, and its headline lot is an Unlimited Black Lotus signed by Christopher Rush and Richard Garfield, according to ICv2.
Everything below comes from one trade-press report. Neither Wizards of the Coast nor Heritage Auctions has confirmed it in an official announcement that we have seen.
What is in the sale
The event is titled "Tapping Into The Many Worlds Of Magic: The Gathering Volume X Trading Card Games Showcase Auction." Its date is October 29, 2026.
The signed Black Lotus is not the only vintage item. Several oversized Magic promo cards that were distributed with vintage TCG magazines, among them Scrye and Inquest, are reportedly included as well.
ICv2 calls three of these oversized promos the most desirable of the bunch:
- Black Lotus, from Scrye #15
- Juzam Djinn, from The Duelist #12
- Chaos Orb, from Inquest #12
All three are represented in this auction.
Sealed product is reportedly on offer too. Older Collector Booster boxes from sets such as Wilds of Eldraine, Modern Horizons III and Commander Legends, among others, are listed.
The sealed-box market
According to ICv2, older sealed Collector Booster boxes have become more expensive over the last two years, judging by recent eBay sales. The outlet attributes this to higher demand and to scarcity of Collector Booster product for certain sets.
ICv2 also guesses at who is behind the demand. It suggests that sellers on live stream platforms, who want sealed product for live box breaks, are the likely drivers. That is the outlet's own interpretation, not a confirmed explanation.
ICv2 also points to signed cards outside this sale, noting that the new Magic: The Gathering Star Trek set contains autographed cards.
