Overview

Best for
- collectors who already know edition premiums
- people completing or pricing Nemesis (143 cards, code nem)
- singles buyers focused on Nemesis / Parallax Wave
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 Nemesis, the usual miss is pricing by card name alone without edition (Alpha/Beta/Unlimited/Revised). Money still clusters around Nemesis / Parallax Wave; treating the whole list like one price tier is how people overpay bulk. Also: Nemesis (2000, early Magic) gets mixed into lots that are not the same product — match set code nem before the art.
What to check first
First: edition line, authenticity, then condition. On Nemesis / Parallax Wave, do condition under light before grade talk. Then use the Nemesis checklist for gaps — sealed is not a plan for the expensive row.
Most valuable cards
The most valuable card in Nemesis right now is Parallax Wave, with a market price around $36.28. Other standout cards include Tangle Wire and Kor Haven.
