How to tell the difference?? Alpha vs Beta - MTG

Lets see if I can help you find the difference between Alpha and Beta cards from the game Magic The Gathering

The main difference between Alpha and Beta is Alpha cards have a more rounded corner very easy to tell when held up against another magic card

-Quick tips-
________________________________________________________________

-Alpha and Beta cards have black borders

-They have no set symbols

-They have no date on the bottom next to the artist name

-Alpha has more rounded corners ( different shape and size then others set )

-Beta cards are the same size as every other magic the gathering set ( same corners )

I hope this helps :D

Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day!!

Thanks for this QN, I just got back into collecting this week. I'm a fan of the older sets.

I already knew that Alpha & Beta were black boarder with no set symbol & no date.
However, I did *not* know how to tell the difference between the two.

This is very helpful.

What if someone shaves down the corners of a beta card to make it look like alpha?

Gotta also flip over make sure it’s not international or collectors edition.

Take a shot of absinthe every time he says "alpha or beta"

I wanted to know how the are DIFFERENT - not how they are the same. So skip to 1:30 - and stop at 2:30.

[DaisyAzuras]

It seems like you can turn any beta card into an Alpha card just by trimming the edges

Great vid, please lose the 30 second intro that wastes everyone's time.

Dang. Edit that good information down instead of having excessive filler to make a longer video.
