Overview

Starter 2000 is a Magic: The Gathering starter set, released April 1, 2000 with 20 cards. Use the checklist below to track which cards you own, and scan any Starter 2000 card with Tappr to pull up its live market price in seconds.

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.
