During a pack opening live stream, something incredible happened. Streamer Queen Honey Games was opening packs for a viewer when she pulled The Mind Stone. But this wasn't just any copy of The Mind Stone, it was the ultra rare cosmic variant. The chase card of the set, there are barely any of these that got printed. They're only available in collector boosters, and as far as we know, this is the first one that was opened. So suffice to say, this was an incredible pull, and the viewer whose pack it was must have been absolutely stoked to see it.

The Price

But just how much money is a card like this worth? Well, it's not quite as simple as you might think. Because there are so few of these cards, it makes it hard to establish a market price. We've seen this elsewhere with other considerably rare cards such as aforementioned serialized cards, where there might only be a handful being sold, and so determining the price is tricky. Currently on Card Kingdom the cosmic version of The Mind Stone is listed at $39,999.99 USD. When you consider that a base copy of the card will fetch up to about $70 USD, you can see how absurdly rare and sought after this cosmic version of the card must be. With the money it takes to buy one cosmic version of this card, you could buy almost 600 base copies, give or take depending on exact price.

This price will likely hold around here. For comparison, The Soul Stone from the Spiderman set, which also had this treatment has a listed price on Card Kingdom of around $33,000 USD, however there are no current listings available. I can't imagine that this version of The Mind Stone would sell for any less than The Soul Stone, so it's safe to see its true price is somewhere in the range of $33,000 to $40,000.

Worth It?

Despite all of this, it's still a bit curious that this card would have such a high price point. Don't get me wrong, The Mind Stone is good and all, but it's no Black Lotus. It really seems like almost all of this card's value is not coming from the playability of the card itself but rather from the fact it's rare. Additionally, I doubt it would be as valuable if it wasn't an infinity stone. There's something about the lore of infinity gems that seem to lend a level of prestige to the cards. 

This card is valuable because it's valuable, it's rare because it's rare, and it's sought after just because it is. None of it is really tied to the text on the card other than its name, which is fitting because the art for this card is textless. This kind of collectibility is something Wizards of the Coast has been actively angling towards, and it resembles what we see from games like Pokemon, where something like a shiny charizard is valuable just because it's rare and people like the character. Traditionally, magic cards such as Black Lotus have had value first and foremost because of function alongside rarity. Any kind of prestige that it had was only because of how good it was.

You could argue all day about whether or not this is a good thing. Ultimately, it will only truly matter to those with the funds to spare for these ultra rare cards, and once again the vast majority of the Magic community will be priced out and left out, so the point is moot. Still, it's astonishing to see a card like this. Congratulations to whomever it goes to, just don't sell it to Thanos.
