Best for
- collectors who already know edition premiums
- people completing or pricing Scourge (143 cards, code scg)
- singles buyers focused on Scourge / Sliver Overlord
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 Scourge, the usual miss is pricing by card name alone without edition (Alpha/Beta/Unlimited/Revised). Money still clusters around Scourge / Sliver Overlord; treating the whole list like one price tier is how people overpay bulk. Also: Scourge (2003, early Magic) gets mixed into lots that are not the same product — match set code scg before the art.
What to check first
First: edition line, authenticity, then condition. On Scourge / Sliver Overlord, do condition under light before grade talk. Then use the Scourge checklist for gaps — sealed is not a plan for the expensive row.
Most valuable cards
The most valuable card in Scourge right now is Sliver Overlord, with a market price around $40.10. Other standout cards include Stifle and Decree of Silence.
