Best for
- collectors who already know edition premiums
- people completing or pricing Portal Second Age (165 cards, code p02)

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 Portal Second Age, the usual miss is skipping authenticity on duals and early rares. Money still clusters around Portal Second Age / Piracy; treating the whole list like one price tier is how people overpay bulk. Also: Portal Second Age (1998, early Magic) gets mixed into lots that are not the same product — match set code p02 before the art.
What to check first
First: set symbol / copyright line before comps. On Portal Second Age / Piracy, do condition under light before grade talk. Then use the Portal Second Age checklist for gaps — sealed is not a plan for the expensive row.
