Hey Guys,

Could someone post the link to a PDF file that has a flow chart for identifying what Magic the Gathering set a particlar card is from based on expansion symbol, date, white/black border, etc? Much appreciated, thanks.

He's looking for BoltBait's chart, but it seems Geocities has pulled it.

EDIT: Here it is...

summer magic is wrong. they are identified by the 1994 date as opposed to revised cards without it...

What exactly is wrong about it? The flowchart seems correct to me for them.

WB - Yes
Copyright line - Yes
Copyright date = 1994
Card not named Blue Elemental Blast or Fireball = Yes

It's Summer Magic.

I like this a lot, however sadly it's outdated.

(my silver-bordered cards are not all from Unglued.)

The error on this chart occurs when you try to lookup a summer magic Fireball and Blue Elemental Blast. It will incorrectly identify them as pre-release cards.

Small error, but still wrong.

That may be so, but since the vast majority of those 2 cards fitting that description are NOT Summer Magic cards, this doesn't seem like a big enough deal to worry about, IMO. Personally, I don't know how to tell the book promos (not sure where the prerelease thing comes from) from true Summer Magic cards, so if anyone knows how, great, but otherwise, no sense in making people overvalue easy-to-find cards as extremely expensive ones.

Just for reference the promo fireball and blue elemental blast appear identical to 4th edition cards except they have a 1994 date instead of 1995.


Fireball

Compare the above with the summer one.
