Lookalikes & traps
Promo stamps and prerelease marks sit beside Magic 2012 Promos art. Confirm the promo set code rather than assuming booster-pack PM12. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Magic 2012 Promos is.
Confirm after the icon
Bottom information line should show collector number + set code PM12 (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On Promos, mismatch between listing title and PM12 is the usual bait-and-switch.
How to identify Magic 2012 Promos cards
- 1
Find the expansion symbol on the type line and match it to the Magic 2012 Promos icon on this page (PM12).
- 2
Use symbol color for draft rarity on PM12, then treat showcase/borderless as a separate finish check.
- 3
Cross-check PM12 + collector number so Promos is not priced under the wrong product line.

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 PM12 and the collector number before comparing to a main-set printing of Promos.
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.
