Lookalikes & traps
Promo stamps and prerelease marks sit beside Japan Junior Tournament art. Confirm the promo set code rather than assuming booster-pack PJJT. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Japan Junior Tournament is.
Confirm after the icon
Bottom information line should show collector number + set code PJJT (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On Japan Junior Tournament, mismatch between listing title and PJJT is the usual bait-and-switch.
How to identify Japan Junior Tournament cards
- 1
Locate the Japan Junior Tournament set mark (PJJT) before you trust the card name — reprints reuse names across products.
- 2
Apply Exodus-era color rules only: no mythic orange on PJJT cards from 2003.
- 3
Verify PJJT on the bottom line; listings that only show the card name are where Japan Junior Tournament get mixed with siblings.
- 4
If icon and PJJT still disagree with a marketplace title, scan with Tappr rather than guessing from art.
Rarity by symbol color
Exodus-through-pre-mythic rules: black common, silver uncommon, gold rare on the Japan Junior Tournament symbol. Mythic orange does not apply yet (Shards of Alara, 2008). Purple timeshifted is a Time Spiral-family exception, not a generic PJJT rule.
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.
