Best for
- collectors who already know edition premiums
- people completing or pricing The Dark (122 cards, code drk)
- singles buyers focused on Goblin Wizard / City
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 The Dark, the usual miss is pricing by card name alone without edition (Alpha/Beta/Unlimited/Revised). Money still clusters around Goblin Wizard / City; treating the whole list like one price tier is how people overpay bulk. Also: The Dark (1994, early Magic) gets mixed into lots that are not the same product — match set code drk before the art.
What to check first
First: edition line, authenticity, then condition. On Goblin Wizard / City, do condition under light before grade talk. Then use the The Dark checklist for gaps — sealed is not a plan for the expensive row.
