Overview

Best for
- collectors who already know edition premiums
- people completing or pricing Tempest (350 cards, code tmp)
- singles buyers focused on Tempest / Intuition
Skip if
- you will not check edition/treatment and still want “NM mythic” prices
- you want a tiny master set — this product is wide; budget special frames separately
Common mistakes
On Tempest, the usual miss is pricing by card name alone without edition (Alpha/Beta/Unlimited/Revised). Money still clusters around Tempest / Intuition; treating the whole list like one price tier is how people overpay bulk. Also: Tempest (1997, early Magic) gets mixed into lots that are not the same product — match set code tmp before the art.
What to check first
First: edition line, authenticity, then condition. On Tempest / Intuition, do condition under light before grade talk. Then use the Tempest checklist for gaps — sealed is not a plan for the expensive row.
Most valuable cards
The most valuable card in Tempest right now is Intuition, with a market price around $362.50. Other standout cards include Earthcraft and Ancient Tomb.
