Best for
- Modern/Pioneer players and set completionists
- people completing or pricing Return to Ravnica (274 cards, code rtr)

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 Return to Ravnica, the usual miss is buying sealed EV stories instead of the actual chase list. Money still clusters around Return / Ravnica; treating the whole list like one price tier is how people overpay bulk. Also: Return to Ravnica (2012, Modern-era paper) gets mixed into lots that are not the same product — match set code rtr before the art.
What to check first
First: whether the card is standard-legal chase or eternal only. On Return / Ravnica, do condition under light before grade talk. Then use the Return to Ravnica checklist for gaps — sealed is not a plan for the expensive row.
