I need to know for collection organization purposes. THe info I have points to P2 after Exodus, but P2 does not have Rarity symbols nor collector's numbers. Does anyone know for sure?

Thanks!

Yep, aware of those; However, I was wondering if anyone had an explanation as to why P2 didn't have Rarity indications, but Exodus had, and if that had anything to do with it.

release dates and design / printing dates are separate. Those features could have also been omitted because it was a portal set, but I'd doubt that.

Why would they release 2 sets 9 days apart from each other too?

because portals didn't figure into rotations and all that and they were marketed towards separate buyers. Remember no one really bought portal since it wasn't even legal to play with at the time unless it was printed in another set.

I started playing with portal.. portal was the best, because we had no idea what was rare and what wasn't, and there was no visual spoiler back then, only a list of cool names.
