How catalogue records are documented.

Identify the object, record its exact versions and show the supporting evidence.

Catalogue scope

Documented quantities, exact printings and evidence.

Tournament-legal Magic printings with documented quantities, including sourced counts, estimates and bounds. A product family can be visible before its exact language, finish or packaging variants have been resolved.

A quantity may be an exact count, an estimate or a bound. Each record keeps its source and qualification; an award count does not establish the complete print run.

Only documented exact versions can be added to a collection project. An unspecified language or an internal catalogue identifier does not establish a physical version.

Evidence labels

What each source supports.

01Publisher statement

Official, stated

A publisher or manufacturer explicitly states the feature, distribution or rate.

02Documented identity

Exact version

The record identifies a physical printing or product configuration using documented language, finish and packaging details.

03Assumptions disclosed

Modelled estimate

A calculation is labelled as an estimate when it depends on assumptions such as equal collation or independent slots.

04Evidence incomplete

Not stated

A missing manufacturer code, language, configuration or individual rate remains unspecified.

Inside each record

Identity, versions and sources stay together.

Marketplace estimates are separate from catalogue evidence. Price estimates apply only to the exact printing and finish identified by the available data. A missing or unsupported price remains unavailable and is excluded from totals. One language or finish is never substituted for another. Condition, shipping, tax, stock and market movements can change the amount actually paid. Where price history is available, the record shows its source and dates.
