Check it out: The Mystical Universe of Magic: The Gathering.
At the end (25:27) there is a card with Jacob Wilson as a monk holding a black lotus. Never seen it, what card is that??

Does anyone know what card they weren't allowed to show in the misprint collection? I was thinking Proposal, Richard's card he used to propose to his wife. 9 exist, and one was stolen, and maybe it was that. Curious.

One of Gardfield's cards - a few have been stolen or sold off.
Alternatively foil testing runs that would have been stolen from the factory, and should really be destroyed.

I wouldn't be surprised if the off-camera card was an 8th Edition test printing with one of the unused alternate designs for the "Modern" frame. I've seen a couple of those in the wild. Like ChiefBell said, it's something that should have been destroyed.
The documentary was very good, though. Vice does a great job taking whatever they're reporting on seriously, even if it might seem weird or outright silly at first glance.

Yes. Try not to pay too close attention to those scenes in the dark room, or else you will actually shit.

A lot of people are saying they are sleeved, you just can't see it very well.

That token is from the SCG Invitational he won where he decided to get a Monastery Mentor token with his likeness.
