Before finding an ultra-rare trading card and selling it to superstar Post Malone, Brook Trafton was working a retail job in Toronto.
“I just decided, ‘Hey, I’m just gonna go and see if they’re open and if they had extra boxes,” Trafton said. “I went there before they opened. I was the first one in line, I was the first one inside the store, I was the first one to the counter.”
“I knew about the bounties out there and it was a very valuable card,” he said. “As soon as I opened it up, I was shaking.” Several companies worldwide publicly placed bounties to get their hands on The One Ring, with one Spanish-based game store offering two million euros . Trafton secured a lawyer and a PR firm to start weighing out his options of what he could do next, and determine what his dream sale would be.
“We pulled the card out, and we’re showing him, he starts talking to us and he’s like, ‘What’s your price?’” Trafton recounted, adding he directed Malone to Carli Posner who was facilitating the sale.“Then he says to me, ‘What’s your favourite commander?’ Commander’s like a format of the game where you make a deck and you have one card that’s like the theme of your deck. I look at Carli, I look at Post Malone, and I’m like ‘I actually brought it with me.
