Burnett hopes the recordings will be heard by everyone who wants to hear them at some point, but that will be up to the owner.
Whoever purchases these three discs now being put up, it will be up to them, as well, whether to identify themselves and whether to make the music available to the greater public in some form. The identity of the party that won the auction for “Blowin’ in the Wind” last year for $1.8 million has never been revealed, nor has what use, if any, that person or group intends for the recording beyond private ownership.

The Christie’s page that provides information to prospective buyers about the three discs and how to begin negotiations for them is here. … Christie’s actually came to us and said, ‘What if we do a private sale of these ?’ So that’s what we’re doing with these three pieces now.” It could have been somebody just to hoard it or something. The auction process can be daunting for those who haven’t partaken in it before, so this is just another channel that we employ to interact with our clients.”īurnett puts it this way: “I realized when we had an auction that we had no idea who was going to buy it.
So I broached the idea to them of a private sale going out on our Christie’s, and they were very interested by the idea. We’ve been brainstorming together what a next step could be in trying to reach maybe some of the same people we had interest from in the auction last year, but also the potential to reach new buyers who may be interested. “There was much interest and speculation last year in what’s going to happen with the other recordings. “We’ve stayed in constant touch with T Bone over the past year after our exciting result last July,” Elizabeth Seigel, the head of private and iconic collections for Christies, tells Variety. Christie’s says these three discs will be custom-manufactured and signed for the buyers - or buyer, if one party were to buy all three - and placed in a display case that is different from the custom box that the “Blowin’ in the Wind” recording was sold with last year. But what do you think about Double Masters? Inevitably we will be showing off the previews of the day a bit later on ( Magic Head Designer Mark Rosewater has already written up his own preview article – spoiler alert, the cards are not nearly worth $100 even combined), but we'd love to hear your opinions on this matter.The proprietary format Burnett has developed to manufacture the discs is in an analog format but, unlike vinyl records, said to be almost unsusceptible to normal wear-and-tear. It could very well kill the game we know and love.
Ultimately, we as Magic: The Gathering players need to be absolutely terrified of this new price precedent that Wizards of the Coast is setting.

PleasantKenobi mentions in a recent Tweet that it is totally possible that thirteen-year-olds with affluence beyond their expertise will, in fact, buy these VIP Edition packs of Double Masters en masse and inevitably either a) not get what they paid for, b) anger their parents for spending over $100 on cardstock, and c) theoretically cause those parents outrage enough for them to bring up the loot crate lawsuits that have hit the video game industry so hard, which is a huge hit on Wizards of the Coast if the concerned parties land that hit. And then, there's the issue of "gambling".
