Best for
- Modern/Pioneer players and set completionists
- people completing or pricing Magic 2012 (249 cards, code m12)
- singles buyers focused on Grand Abolisher / Birds
Skip if
- you will not check edition/treatment and still want “NM mythic” prices
- you expect every rare in the set to hold similar resale
Common mistakes
On Magic 2012, the usual miss is buying sealed EV stories instead of the actual chase list. Money still clusters around Grand Abolisher / Birds; treating the whole list like one price tier is how people overpay bulk. Also: Magic 2012 (2011, Modern-era paper) gets mixed into lots that are not the same product — match set code m12 before the art.
What to check first
First: whether the card is standard-legal chase or eternal only. On Grand Abolisher / Birds, do condition under light before grade talk. Then use the Magic 2012 checklist for gaps — sealed is not a plan for the expensive row.
