Lookalikes & traps
Binder piles mix Salvat 2005 with adjacent Standard sets. Silhouette first, then PSAL, before you trust a lot listing title. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Salvat 2005 is.
Confirm after the icon
Bottom information line should show collector number + set code PSAL (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On Salvat, mismatch between listing title and PSAL is the usual bait-and-switch.
How to identify Salvat 2005 cards
- 1
Start with the Salvat 2005 glyph silhouette; art style alone will not separate this box product from guests and remasters.
- 2
Read black / silver / gold on the Salvat 2005 symbol for common / uncommon / rare — mythic orange is not in this era.
- 3
Confirm set code PSAL and the collector number on the information line under the text box.
- 4
Finish with a Tappr scan when Salvat appears under multiple set codes in the same lot.
Rarity by symbol color
Exodus-through-pre-mythic rules: black common, silver uncommon, gold rare on the Salvat 2005 symbol. Mythic orange does not apply yet (Shards of Alara, 2008). Purple timeshifted is a Time Spiral-family exception, not a generic PSAL 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.
