History
Serial numbering
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]
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 is non-reversed.
Viscera Seer
The 100 mirrored Viscera Seers are the first series of serial numbered cards to appear in the context of Magic: The Gathering. The first of these cards was found in November 2021 as a bonus card in a foil Phyrexian Praetors: Compleat Edition packaging.[4] The second card found was #15 and was found in a non-foil version of the same Secret Lair drop.[5]
