One of the most coveted cards from the Riftbound collection celebrating T1's 2025 World Championship has changed hands for a six-figure sum. The English version of Seraphine, Not Alone, selected by Ryu "Keria" Min-seok, serial number #0001/2025, found a new owner in a private sale worth more than $100,000.
Dom "Silverddragn," who helped find a buyer for the card, confirmed the range of the deal:
"I can say it's in the six figures, but I was asked to keep the price private."
Silverddragn identified the buyer as @_pokepan_. Before the deal was completed, he had explained that the card was pulled by a friend who preferred to remain anonymous and asked for his help finding a new owner.
Why Is Keria's Seraphine #0001 Worth So Much?
The value is not tied only to how strong the card is in a game of Riftbound. In this case, what matters is the combination of scarcity, serial number, player, and provenance.
Seraphine is part of the T1 2025 Worlds Champion Signature Edition, a collection created by Riot Games to celebrate the organization's 2025 World Championship. Each member of that roster chose a champion: Choi "Doran" Hyeon-joon selected Ambessa, Mun "Oner" Hyeon-jun chose Xin Zhao, Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok chose Galio, Lee "Gumayusi" Min-hyeong selected Miss Fortune, and Ryu "Keria" Min-seok chose Seraphine.
The English edition originally sold for $360 through a purchase-access lottery. Riot produced 10,125 units per language, with Korean and Chinese versions also available. Inside each box, one of the five cards receives a serial number between 1 and 2025, along with the corresponding player's signature stamped in gold.
That makes the card involved in this sale especially different from the other Seraphine cards in the collection. It is not simply a serialized Keria card, but the English #0001/2025 version, the first in that print run. Numbers such as #0001 typically attract additional attention in the TCG market precisely because they cannot be repeated within the same series.
The Seraphine from this collection has another unusual detail: Not Alone belongs to Radiance. When the T1 collection was announced, Riot itself explained that the card could not yet be used in official Riftbound matches until the expansion was released.
That does not mean, however, that every card in the collection is worth anything close to the same amount. The #0001 serial number is a fundamental part of the difference. On September 14, for example, another T1 bundle listed with a Keria Seraphine featuring a stamped signature appeared as sold for $7,500 on eBay. Without a serial number comparable to #0001, those transactions are not direct comparisons.
There is also an important difference between an asking price and a completed sale. In the collectibles market, cards can be listed for tens of thousands of dollars without anyone actually paying that amount. In the case of Keria's #0001, the card was transferred between the parties and there was public confirmation that the deal reached six figures, although the exact price remains private.
Riftbound Has Already Seen Other $100,000 Deals
Keria's Seraphine is not the first Riftbound item to reach six figures. In April 2026, a 1/1 version of Miss Fortune, Buccaneer, awarded as a prize to the winner of the Houston Regional Qualifier, was sold for $100,000 to a private collector.
That card had a different kind of rarity. Instead of being part of a serialized collection, it was a prize card with only one copy of that version in circulation. Even so, the sale showed that the most exclusive end of the Riftbound market already had buyers willing to spend six figures on items connected to the game.
In June, another deal drew attention when a set of metal tournament prize cards changed hands in London for a reported value of approximately $250,000.
The sale of the Seraphine #0001 adds a different element to that market. While the first major high-value deals focused primarily on extremely limited prize cards, the T1 collection connects traditional TCG scarcity directly to the competitive history of League of Legends.
