Special Guests set symbol
The Special Guests expansion symbol (SPG, 2023) sits on the right of the type line on modern frames — match that glyph to the icon on this page, not a later reprint of the same characters.

Lookalikes & traps
Masterpiece / premium sheets reuse famous characters. Treat SPG as its own SKU — never 1:1 with the main-set printing of Special Guests / Chrome Mox. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Special Guests is.
Confirm after the icon
Bottom information line should show collector number + set code SPG (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On Special Guests / Chrome Mox, mismatch between listing title and SPG is the usual bait-and-switch.
How to identify Special Guests cards
- 1
Start with the Special Guests glyph silhouette; art style alone will not separate this masterpiece product from guests and remasters.
- 2
Read rarity from symbol color on Special Guests: black common, silver uncommon, gold rare, orange mythic — foil sheen does not change it.
- 3
Confirm set code SPG and the collector number on the information line under the text box.
- 4
Finish with a Tappr scan when Special Guests / Chrome Mox appears under multiple set codes in the same lot.
Rarity by symbol color
Special product (masterpiece): rarity color may still follow modern conventions when a symbol is present, but SKU/treatment beats draft-rarity folklore. Verify SPG and the collector number before comparing to a main-set printing of Special Guests.
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.
