Core Set 2019 Promos set symbol

Identify Core Set 2019 Promos by the unique set mark shown here (PM19). Older frames may place related marks differently, but the information line still carries the modern set code when present.

Lookalikes & traps

Promo stamps and prerelease marks sit beside Core Set 2019 Promos art. Confirm the promo set code rather than assuming booster-pack PM19. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Core Set 2019 Promos is.

Confirm after the icon

Bottom information line should show collector number + set code PM19 (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On Core Set / Promos, mismatch between listing title and PM19 is the usual bait-and-switch.

How to identify Core Set 2019 Promos cards

1
Locate the Core Set 2019 Promos set mark (PM19) before you trust the card name — reprints reuse names across products.
2
Use symbol color for draft rarity on PM19, then treat showcase/borderless as a separate finish check.
3
Verify PM19 on the bottom line; listings that only show the card name are where Core Set 2019 Promos get mixed with siblings.
4
If icon and PM19 still disagree with a marketplace title, scan with Tappr rather than guessing from art.

Rarity by symbol color

Special product (promo): rarity color may still follow modern conventions when a symbol is present, but SKU/treatment beats draft-rarity folklore. Verify PM19 and the collector number before comparing to a main-set printing of Core Set.

Common Black (white in rare exceptions)

Uncommon Silver symbol

Rare Gold symbol

Mythic Rare Orange / bronze (post-Alara)

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.
