Core Set 2020 Promos set symbol

Core Set 2020 Promos stamps every card in the product with its own expansion icon. Use the silhouette above as the visual key, then confirm set code PM20 so remasters cannot pass.

Lookalikes & traps

Promo stamps and prerelease marks sit beside Core Set 2020 Promos art. Confirm the promo set code rather than assuming booster-pack PM20. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Core Set 2020 Promos is.

Confirm after the icon

Bottom information line should show collector number + set code PM20 (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On Core Set / Promos, mismatch between listing title and PM20 is the usual bait-and-switch.

How to identify Core Set 2020 Promos cards

  1. 1

    Start with the Core Set 2020 Promos glyph silhouette; art style alone will not separate this promo product from guests and remasters.

  2. 2

    Use symbol color for draft rarity on PM20, then treat showcase/borderless as a separate finish check.

  3. 3

    Confirm set code PM20 and the collector number on the information line under the text box.

  4. 4

    Finish with a Tappr scan when Core Set / Promos appears under multiple set codes in the same lot.

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 PM20 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.
