It’s been a week since Magic: The Gathering’s Final Fantasy collaboration officially hit shelves, and in the time since, we’ve witnessed some truly staggering prices on select single cards. Those lucky enough to pull certain versions of the series borderless, surge foil character cards, for example, could fetch anywhere from $200-700 for them right now. And yet, absolutely none of these prices compare to what one of the series’ serialized Golden Traveling Chocobos just sold for.

As part of a limited run of 77, it’s not particularly shocking a Golden Traveling Chocobo would be worth a substantial amount of money. That said, according to a recent eBay listing, Golden Traveling Chocobo #41 just sold for a whopping $40,000. Though this is actually $10,000 less than the store’s original asking price, this is also slightly more the average American’s annual salary, according a recent US Census report.

Though the listing no longer shows the exact price of the accepted offer, those who have a seller’s profile on eBay can visit the site’s research tab, search the card, and view what “similar items” have sold for. Considering the card is one of a kind, it is currently the only item listed, and shows it sold for $40,000. Oh, and don’t forget the $3.91 for shipping.

Even before its official release, Magic: The Gathering’s Final Fantasy collaboration made history as Magic: The Gathering’s best-selling set of all time. It’s important to note this was announced over a month before the cards were actually sold and was based solely on preorder numbers.

Since its release, demand for these cards has caused prices to skyrocket. Whereas the set’s four Commander decks are meant to retail for $70, Final Fantasy VII’s Limit Break deck is currently listed for $110 on TCGPlayer, while XIV’s Scions and Spellcraft and X’s Counter Blitz rest at $90. Thankfully, VI fans can still pick up Revival Trance for its original price. Collector Boosters, which are normally priced at $38, are setting players back anywhere from $80 to $110 currently. An unopened box of 30 Collector Boosters is currently listed for $1,170 on TCGPlayer.

Though the prices might be outrageous, all the hype surrounding the series makes complete sense when you consider each half of the collaboration’s 30+ years of history, their fanbases, and the collection’s lofty goals. The team behind the set spent nearly half a decade designing the cards, and had plenty of “spirited discussions” over which characters were included from across the Final Fantasy series’ 16 mainline games, and which ones they had to leave behind. Though the amount of cards a game has largely varies in the collaboration’s main set, the team also released the Through the Ages bonus sheet, which features four, full-art cards from each game. GameSpot recently revealed three of these cards, including the Balamb Garden – Command Beacon.
