OK, time for another question. What constitutes a "reprint"? Common sense
tells me that it's any card that has previously been printed in another
set. However, that would imply that virtually ALL cards in Diamond are
reprints. This is fine, except that the existing data files flag ZERO cards
from Gold as reprints, even though numerous cards in that set were
"reprints" based on my definition. So I'm utterly confused on this. Help????

Thanks, Rob

Reprints are reprints of a new base level (or story arc or whatever you want to
call it).

Once the Gold Edition was printed, it became the new "base level". The story
arc was sort of "reset", and the time line for the story was advanced. That is
why there are "soul of" cards in Gold Edition.

Cards appearing in a GE starter deck are not actually reprints but, cards from
that set appear in the starter decks of later expansions in the same "arc" or
"era". Sometimes the reprints get changed and become MRPs, just to add to the
confusion.

Once the Diamond Edition is released, it becomes the new "base level". The
story is getting "reset" again.

Hi,

I'm on digest so sorry if this has been answered before.

Yes, your definition of "reprint" is correct. Almost all cards in Gold
or Diamond (or any basic sets) are reprints. However we use the term
"reprint" for those cards that

1) Are reprints of old cards from a previous set.

and

2) Aren't part of the numbered checklist of this set. (for sets from
Gold on)

and

3) Are fixed* in the starters

*This adds another complication with the "fixed" rarity. We call "fixed"
cards only those that:

1) Appear only fixed in the set

and

2) Are part of the numbered checklist of the set. (for sets from Gold
on)

And, in the case of basic sets, as Diamond will be, this will include a
number of cards that won't appear in boosters but only fixed in one
starter or another.

A good rule of thumb (for sets from Gold on) is that if the reprinted
card has a number, it is "fixed". Otherwise it is a "reprint".

Exactly. AEG never bothers to list those.
