A Live Pull That Lit the Fuse
On September 26, the card’s journey to stardom started at The Collective, a Wizards Play Network (WPN) Premium hobby shop located in Shah Alam, Malaysia. Live streamer KimoEZ, famous for his high-energy unboxing sessions, opened a booster pack for the new Marvel’s Spider-Man TCG. During the session, he revealed the cosmic foil variant of the Soul Stone – a textless, shimmering edition that is considerably rarer than the standard versions, with some estimates putting the print runs at just a few hundred copies around the globe.
In an interview after the auction, KimoEZ said, “I could hardly believe my eyes… This card, live, here in Malaysia? It was like winning the lottery, like winning the card lottery, actually! But, the subsequent auction price? Unbelievable! It’s the stuff of legends – like Thanos snapping his fingers, but instead of disappearing half the universe, we are building one collector’s dream deck.”
There was no time wasted on listing the card in the Collektr Marketplace, and starting an auction where the starting price was auction was set at RM55,000 (about USD 13,600). It was an auction frenzy, where 43 bids were placed for 10 loyal collectors from Malaysia, Thailand, the USA, South Korea, and Europe. To further stimulate the excitement in the last 25 minutes of the auction, Collektr set up a livestream auction which attracted thousands of viewers who were eager to watch the price increase.

Why the Soul Stone Commands Such Power
At its core, the Soul Stone’s allure lies in its rarity and narrative punch. In Marvel lore, the orange gem allows its wielder to manipulate souls, a power echoed in the card’s mechanics: “Indestructible: Add {C}. {2}, {C}, Exile a creature you control: Harness the Soul Stone. At the beginning of your upkeep, return target creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield.” The textless cosmic foil version, devoid of rules text for aesthetic purity, appeals to high-end collectors who prize art over utility.
Experts predict this sale could catalyze further crossovers, with Wizards teasing more Marvel integrations. As one analyst noted, “MTG’s 30-year legacy as a collectible has met Marvel’s billion-dollar IP – the results are pure market magic.”
For now, the Soul Stone’s shatterproof legacy rests in Caffrey’s collection, a testament to how a humble card pull can rewrite record books. Aspiring hunters, take note: The multiverse is vast, but the chase cards are fleeting.
