## How to identify each version

- **Original Arabian Nights printing**: Black-bordered English Arabian Nights land, collector number 70 in modern references, Jeff A. Menges art, nonfoil, Reserved List card.

**Identity note:** The original card had no printed modern collector number on the card face; number 70 is the database collector number used by modern references.

## Why this card matters

Bazaar of Baghdad is an English Arabian Nights land with Jeff A. Menges artwork, U3 uncommon sheet rarity, and the draw-two-discard-three activated ability. It is one of the early Magic cards where collectible demand and format history overlap, especially because the original printing is on the Reserved List. The relevant research object is narrow: original English Arabian Nights, not Vintage Masters, Magic Online, championship oversized cards, or other non-original appearances. That separation matters because a player substitute and a collector original can trade in different markets.

## Identifying the exact version

The target card is the black-bordered English Arabian Nights printing identified in modern databases as number 70. It is nonfoil, a land, and has Jeff A. Menges art. Do not merge it with later Vintage Masters or digital versions, even when the game function is similar. For graded copies, keep PSA 10, PSA 9, PSA 8, BGS 9.5, and raw condition categories separate. The source data found here includes both PSA Auction Prices Realized and one Heritage BGS 9.5 lot, which are separate grade and grader markets.

## What moves the price between versions and grades

The opened PSA table showed few recent high-grade sales, with the latest listed PSA 7 sale at $1,762 on October 14, 2024 and an older PSA 10 sale at $8,100 on January 24, 2022. Heritage also listed a BGS 9.5 sale on November 26, 2025. The meaningful drivers are exact printing, grade, grader, subgrades where applicable, authenticity confidence, and the difference between a playable raw copy and a slabbed collectible copy. Population counts should be read as grading counts only.

## Authenticity checks

Compare against official references; multiple checks; no destructive tests; copied cert numbers exist. For Bazaar of Baghdad, confirm the Arabian Nights printing, black border, art, text, set symbol, back, wear pattern, and print quality against known authentic examples. For slabs, verify that the certification record matches the same card, grade, and visible item, then still inspect the holder and label. For raw copies, require clear front, back, corner, and angled-light photos because name-only listings can hide wrong printing, damage, or counterfeit risk.

## Common misconceptions

- **Myth:** Bazaar is expensive only because it is on the Reserved List. **What the evidence says:** Reserved List status is one supply fact; demand also comes from exact printing, history, playability, grade, and market liquidity. See ch08 and ch10.
- **Myth:** Vintage Masters Bazaar is a direct comp for Arabian Nights Bazaar. **What the evidence says:** A different printing or digital-era treatment is a substitute for some players but not the same collectible object. See ch08.
- **Myth:** A low PSA population proves the total surviving supply is tiny. **What the evidence says:** Population is a grader count, not a census of raw, sealed, or other-grader copies. See ch02 and ch04.
