Grading math for this card
Prefilled with the latest qualifying sale for each grade where one exists. Replace any value with your own. We never suggest what grade your copy will get.
Formula from Grading: condition, uncertainty, and economics: grading pays only if your honest chance of the high grade exceeds (raw net + cost − other-outcome net) ÷ (high-grade net − other-outcome net). The 13% fee is an editable assumption, not a quoted tariff.
About Mox Ruby
Mox Ruby is the Alpha red-mana Mox from Magic's Power Nine. Collectors search for it because exact Alpha identification and high-grade condition drive a very different market from later or commemorative Mox Ruby versions.
Why this card matters
Verified factMox Ruby is one of the original Magic Mox artifacts and belongs to the Power Nine family of early high-impact cards. Wizards' official Reprint Policy lists Mox Ruby under Limited Edition on the Reserved List, but that policy should be read as a reprint-policy source rather than a price forecast. The Alpha printing is the researched collectible here. Later versions or special-purpose printings can share the name and function while not being the same physical collectible. [1][2][3]
Identifying the exact version
Verified factThe exact version is English Limited Edition Alpha Mox Ruby, not Beta, Unlimited, Collector's Edition, International Collector's Edition, or 30th Anniversary Edition. Identification should use the Alpha frame, card back, corner shape, border, print characteristics, and provenance. The opened Fanatics lot identifies the sale subject as 1993 Magic The Gathering MTG Alpha Mox Ruby PSA 10 Gem Mint. Wizards' 30th Anniversary gallery separately shows a Mox Ruby in that commemorative product, which should not be merged into Alpha comps. [1][2]
What moves the price between versions and grades
Verified factThe opened Fanatics Premier Auction lot sold a PSA 10 Alpha Mox Ruby for $39,600 on 2023-03-17 with buyer's premium included. That record is useful for PSA 10 Alpha only. It should not be used for PSA 9, BGS 9.5, raw Alpha, signed or altered copies, Beta, Unlimited, Collector's Edition, or 30th Anniversary Edition. The same lot states PSA Population 1 of 9, which is a PSA grade-category count and not a census of all Mox Ruby cards. [1]
Authenticity checks
AnalysisCompare against official references; multiple checks; no destructive tests; copied cert numbers exist. For Alpha Mox Ruby, inspect corner shape, border, card back, print texture, surface, edge wear, and any provenance. For a slabbed card, confirm the certification record, then compare the slab, label, cert images, and auction photos to the item being offered. Do not authenticate from the name Mox Ruby alone because multiple official and non-Alpha objects use the same card name. [1][2][3]
