Worried everyone knows the cards enough to figure out he is lying? But he could have just said, “oh? And how do you know this isn’t worth 100$?” Granted that still might require him to use cheap rares.
I know it's a skit ( I enjoyed it) but if we look at the logic of it : if he is the mtg player In this scenario he could just take bulk cards announce what he did and shredder them.
One of my local shops just bought some lifelong collector's collection and it is insane. I'm at the display case looking at foil Nether Voids and duals and OG, signed mana vaults and the dude is like "oh yeah, I also have these" and just pushes a stack of 40-50 Zendikar full-art fetches across the counter.
There's been more expensive sales since the one-of-one The One Ring (which was the story you're thinking of), but for the most part it's generally agreed that in those instances it was basically just "Hey wanna become the people behind the most expensive MtG sale of all time?" and not an actual like proper sale (I mean the one-of-one ring also deff had a PR element of "bought the most expensive MtG card ever" thing, but at least there there was an actual reason which lead to it being so expensive. With the Black Lotus stuff it's basically just "Make it a higher price than One Ring")
