What the MTG scanner recognizes
Magic has the largest card pool of any trading card game, with the same card reprinted in countless sets, promos and alternate frames. TCGSnap's Magic database is the biggest it carries, with over 100,000 printings, and it matches your card against each one so you see the exact set and collector number. When a card has several near-identical printings, confirm the set symbol before relying on the price.
