Best for
- collectors who already know edition premiums
- people completing or pricing Starter 2000 (20 cards, code s00)
- singles buyers focused on Starter / Monstrous Growth
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 Starter 2000, the usual miss is pricing by card name alone without edition (Alpha/Beta/Unlimited/Revised). Money still clusters around Starter / Monstrous Growth; treating the whole list like one price tier is how people overpay bulk. Also: Starter 2000 (2000, early Magic) gets mixed into lots that are not the same product — match set code s00 before the art.
What to check first
First: edition line, authenticity, then condition. On Starter / Monstrous Growth, do condition under light before grade talk. Then use the Starter 2000 checklist for gaps — sealed is not a plan for the expensive row.
Most valuable cards
The most valuable card in Starter 2000 right now is Monstrous Growth, with a market price around $0.48. Other standout cards include Hand of Death and Knight Errant.
