The Original art was painted with acrylic on illustration board. The card was embedded in Chanpheng's winning trophy. At the event, there was a video showing the destruction of every other copy of the card on the one sheet that was printed.

One sheet of this card was printed, but all other copies were destroyed as well as the printing plates.

In 2001 it was sold to a private collector for $17,500. The card is encased in lucite, apparently floating above a silver globe. The 1996 World Champion was given to Tom Chanpheng of Australia for winning the 1996 World Championship. Two cards will forever frustrate Magic card collectors, as there is only one of each in existence. Index | 1996 World Champion | Shichifukujin Dragon
