Overview

Anthologies is a Magic: The Gathering box set, released November 1, 1998 with 85 cards. Use the checklist below to track which cards you own, and scan any Anthologies card with Tappr to read a Scryfall market estimate synced about every 24 hours.

Best for

collectors hunting specific frames and foils
people completing or pricing Anthologies (85 cards, code ath)
singles buyers focused on Anthologies / Strip Mine

Skip if

you will not check edition/treatment and still want “NM mythic” prices
you expect every rare in the set to hold similar resale

Common mistakes

On Anthologies, the usual miss is assuming every mythic in a masters set holds sealed-product heat. Money still clusters around Anthologies / Strip Mine; treating the whole list like one price tier is how people overpay bulk. Also: Anthologies (1998, supplemental / masters) gets mixed into lots that are not the same product — match set code ath before the art.

What to check first

First: foil premium vs nonfoil. On Anthologies / Strip Mine, do condition under light before grade talk. Then use the Anthologies checklist for gaps — sealed is not a plan for the expensive row.
