The Riftbound x T1 Signature Edition retailed for $360 through a lottery limited to 10,125 sets
Winners’ sets are already reselling on eBay for thousands of dollars
Riot is canceling orders connected to “suspicious accounts”
More than a million people threw their name into a raffle for a $360 card set today, and the ones who won are already sitting on a payday most jobs can’t match in a month. Riot sent out winner emails this morning with a 24 hour window to complete the purchase, and the secondary market immediately exploded. It’s shaping up to be one of the biggest single-day flips of the year, with more than a little controversy attached.
The Riftbound x T1 2025 Worlds Champion Signature Edition celebrates T1’s third straight League of Legends World Championship. Each of the 10,125 sets includes five champion cards, and each one was hand picked by a member of T1’s winning roster. Doran chose Ambessa, Faker chose Galio, Gumayusi chose Miss Fortune, Keria chose Seraphine, and Oner chose Xin Zhao. Every card carries new art and a frame that doesn’t appear on any other Riftbound release.
The real chase card is the signature. One card in each set is randomly gold stamped with that player’s autograph and serialized between 1 and 2025, honoring the year of the win. Faker’s signature has the same 1 in 5 odds as anyone else’s, but as the roster’s most recognizable name, his pull is expected to sell well above the other four on its own.
We covered the lottery when registration opened two weeks ago, and we knew it would be a big deal. Riftbound has been exploding in popularity the last few years, and this set’s release would pit hundreds of thousands of collectors against each other to try and snag one of 10,125 produced.
Winners began receiving their emails this morning, and many of them chose to take their allocations straight to eBay. In the last 12 hours, we’ve recorded over 100 sales for this set.
Prices are pretty scattered. At the lowest end, we’ve seen sellers let their sets go for $2,000. On the other hand, some Riftbound T1 sets have resold for $9,000 to $10,000. The bulk of the sales seem to fall in the $4,000 to $6,000 range. At minimum, resellers are looking to score at least $1,000 in profit from a sale, and most are netting two to three times that number.
It’s not an exaggeration to say this is one of the biggest flips of the year. Opportunities like these do not come around often, and we’re happy to see resellers turning massive profits in such quick time.
Riftbound collectors are not happy to see the current market for these cards on eBay though, and they’re vocal about it. Riot’s social media has been inundated with alleged screenshots from botters’ email addresses that show a single account receiving more than ten purchase links each, a direct violation of Riot’s one set per Riot ID policy.
Riot has acknowledged the backlash, saying its systems flagged a large share of registrations before the drawing and that it’s now reviewing both selected winners and the wider entry pool for additional suspicious activity, with confirmed bot orders getting canceled and reallocated.
Whether that response satisfies the community or just looks good on social media is still up for debate, but it does open a door for more people to buy these sets. Even if you didn’t receive a purchase link today, keep checking your email. If one of these canned orders gets allocated to you, you’ll only have 24 hours to complete the purchase. Don’t miss out on a potential five-figure flip by ignoring an email.
If you won, this is about as close to a guaranteed flip as reselling gets, and there’s little reason to sit on a set given how liquid the current market is. If you didn’t get picked today, all hope is not lost. While the odds are extremely long, there’s still a chance your name will be called.
Don’t sleep on Riftbound. Collectors have proven they’re willing to drive up prices for limited edition releases like this one, and we’ll be keeping our eyes up for similar drops in the future.
