First printed in 1993 as a part of the Beta set of Magic the Gathering, the Mox gem cards have established themselves as part of the “Power Nine.” Mox Pearl represents the gem that provides a white mana source and the color needed for players looking to add that shining element of survivability playstyle to their decks. Only legal for play as a one of in vintage format, the Mox Pearl offers a staple for players looking to compete on equal grounds with fellow Planeswalkers and collectors hold it in high regard as they work to complete a set of the Power Nine or focus in on completing a Mox collection.
During the start of Magic, many people utilized the strength of the Mox gems in their decks, which leaves cards prone to getting damaged and beaten up during the shuffling process. Card sleeves were not as readily utilized until 1995, which dates MTG cards as being played without protection for two years before any form of preservation and protection. Due to the lack of protection during those years, many cards suffered from love, chip dusted fingers, and absorbed more damage. Finding mint to near-mint condition cards from Beta remains a challenge and even more so for the Power Nine. Whether you are looking to add another gem to your collection, gather the Mox stones, or see how it feels to tap one for blue, an extremely clean Mox Pearl will look to add a glimmer of hope to any collection.
