Ignore modern black/silver/gold/orange rarity folklore — Multiverse Gift Box predates Exodus color coding.
- 3
Confirm set code MGB and the collector number on the information line under the text box.
- 4
Finish with a Tappr scan when Multiverse Gift Box appears under multiple set codes in the same lot.
Rarity by symbol color
Pre-Exodus printing (1996): expansion symbols were generally monochrome and did not encode rarity by color. Identify Multiverse Gift Box with edition cues and set context — not black/silver/gold folklore borrowed from later sets.
Legend shows the modern post-Exodus palette. Pre-Exodus sets and special rarities (for example Time Spiral purple timeshifted) follow the rarity reading above — not this swatch row alone.
