A professional Magic: The Gathering player has sold a card on eBay for $14,900.

The card in question is Tarmogoyf, first printed in 2007. On the surface the card itself does appear to be valued that highly, but seller Pascal Maynard has a particular version with a bit of history. You can see the eBay sale here.

Kotaku posted a great explanation of why Maynard's Tarmogoyf specifically might be worth thousands of dollars, and it has to do with its origin. Maynard writes about Magic the Gathering and competes in high-level tournaments. He opened his Tarmogoyf card live on stream during a tournament while he was drafting cards for his next deck, and acknowledged that it would probably be smarter to take another card he had opened, Burst Lightning. He picked the Tarmogoyf knowing it would be valuable, lost later on (ironically with the help of the opponent's Burst Lighting) and posted it on eBay after the tournament.

This has ignited some anger in the Magic the Gathering community, and both sides have fair points. He already makes money off the game, knows the Burst Lightning would have been the better pick (he said as much on stream), and tournaments are meant to challenge you to be the best Magic player you can be. At the same time, he maybe felt he could win without Burst Lightning, make money off the Tarmogoyf, and is not technically beholden to any unwritten rules of honor or conduct.

Additionally, he did donate 50 percent of the proceeds from his $14,900 sale to the Gamers Helping Gamers charity. You can see the moment from the tournament in the archived Twitch video below--Kotaku helpfully pointed out the 5 hour and 40 minute mark at which he opens the cards.
