Overview

Rivals Quick Start Set is a Magic: The Gathering box set, released July 1, 1996 with 65 cards. Use the checklist below to track which cards you own, and scan any Rivals Quick Start Set 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 Rivals Quick Start Set (65 cards, code rqs)
  • singles buyers focused on Rivals Quick Start Set

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 Rivals Quick Start Set, the usual miss is assuming every mythic in a masters set holds sealed-product heat. Money still clusters around Rivals Quick Start Set; treating the whole list like one price tier is how people overpay bulk. Also: Rivals Quick Start Set (1996, supplemental / masters) gets mixed into lots that are not the same product — match set code rqs before the art.

What to check first

First: foil premium vs nonfoil. On Rivals Quick Start Set, do condition under light before grade talk. Then use the Rivals Quick Start Set checklist for gaps — sealed is not a plan for the expensive row.
