Lookalikes & traps
Alchemy / digital-only lines must not be priced as paper Masters Edition III. If there is no paper ME3 card, stop at identification — there is no TCGplayer comps path. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Masters Edition III is.
Confirm after the icon
Confirm whether ME3 exists on paper. If the card is digital-only, identification stops there — Tappr will not invent a paper market row.
How to identify Masters Edition III cards
- 1
Find the expansion symbol on the type line and match it to the Masters Edition III icon on this page (ME3).
- 2
Use symbol color for draft rarity on ME3, then treat showcase/borderless as a separate finish check.
- 3
Cross-check ME3 + collector number so Masters Edition III is not priced under the wrong product line.

Rarity by symbol color
Digital / Arena-adjacent product (ME3): do not assume paper rarity-color habits map to a sellable paper printing. Confirm whether a paper card with this set code even exists before reading black/silver/gold/orange as a buylist signal.
Legend shows the modern post-Exodus palette. Pre-Exodus sets and special rarities (for example Time Spiral purple timeshifted) follow the rarity reading above — not this swatch row alone.
