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. This type of cards has been seen only once.
