That was fast! Wonder if we’ll ever find out who opened it?
Hopefully this means gift bundle prices go down even if by a little bit.
I got briefly bamboozled into reading the Reddit post on this. Apparently we kinda know what Magic community it was found in but not who:
""Update: Polygon spoke Friday with Jeff Tyson, co-owner of Maximum Cards and Collectibles in Whitby, Ontario.
Tyson said that The One Ring was found by the cousin of a regular customer who learned of the epic pull while in the store.
That individual placed the card in a bank vault, secured legal representation, and then arranged for the card to be graded by PSA.
It’s not known at this time where the card was purchased or what the owner plans to do with it.“”
So it was just some guy who opened it? That’s kinda nice actually. Better than someone who’s already wealthy and cracking a million packs.

Looks like the owner is in Ontario according to that article.
