Mirrored Viscera Seer #15 of 100
Serial numbered cards, or serialized cards, are Magic: The Gathering chase cards that are serial numbered with a stamp in the art box.
Description[ | ]
Serial numbering means every individual card is marked, either by a machine or by hand, with a unique number, usually followed by the maximum number in the run. Serial numbering first appeared on non-Magic trading cards in 1990 with Pro Set Football's Vince Lombardi Trophy Hologram card.[1][2][3] The first serialized card for Magic: The Gathering appeared in 2021.
Mirrored cards[ | ]
"Mirrored cards" or "reversed cards" are serial numbered cards that are printed with their rules text and illustration in reverse. The golden stamp in the lower right corner of the art box is non-reversed.
