Lookalikes & traps
Promo stamps and prerelease marks sit beside Lunar New Year 2018 art. Confirm the promo set code rather than assuming booster-pack PLNY. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Lunar New Year 2018 is.
Confirm after the icon
Bottom information line should show collector number + set code PLNY (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On Lunar New Year, mismatch between listing title and PLNY is the usual bait-and-switch.
How to identify Lunar New Year 2018 cards
- 1
Find the expansion symbol on the type line and match it to the Lunar New Year 2018 icon on this page (PLNY).
- 2
Read rarity from symbol color on Lunar New Year 2018: black common, silver uncommon, gold rare, orange mythic — foil sheen does not change it.
- 3
Cross-check PLNY + collector number so Lunar New Year is not priced under the wrong product line.

Rarity by symbol color
Special product (promo): rarity color may still follow modern conventions when a symbol is present, but SKU/treatment beats draft-rarity folklore. Verify PLNY and the collector number before comparing to a main-set printing of Lunar New Year.
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.
