Grading math for this card
Prefilled with the latest qualifying sale for each grade where one exists. Replace any value with your own. We never suggest what grade your copy will get.
Formula from Grading: condition, uncertainty, and economics: grading pays only if your honest chance of the high grade exceeds (raw net + cost − other-outcome net) ÷ (high-grade net − other-outcome net). The 13% fee is an editable assumption, not a quoted tariff.
About Library of Alexandria
Library of Alexandria is an original Arabian Nights land from Magic's first expansion. Collectors search for it because it is an early, powerful, Reserved List Magic card with a long history in Vintage and old-school collecting.
Why this card matters
Verified factLibrary of Alexandria is a 1993 Arabian Nights land with Mark Poole artwork and U3 uncommon sheet rarity in modern references. Its game text draws a card only when the controller has exactly seven cards in hand, which is why player demand and collector demand overlap. The card is also on Wizards of the Coast's Reserved List, but that policy should be recorded as a reprint-policy fact, not a price guarantee. The exact collectible object here is the original English Arabian Nights printing, not a digital version, oversized version, or later non-tournament treatment. [1][2]
Identifying the exact version
Verified factThe target version is the black-bordered English Arabian Nights printing. The card is a land, has Mark Poole as artist, is listed as available only as nonfoil, and is identified as Arabian Nights number 76 by modern databases. A sale for this version should not be merged with Vintage Masters, Magic Online, oversized, or Special Guest appearances, because those satisfy different buyers. For raw copies, condition language such as near mint or played is not interchangeable with a PSA, BGS, CGC, or SGC grade. [1]
What moves the price between versions and grades
AnalysisThe sparse opened sales evidence found for this pass was concentrated in PSA 9 examples. PSA cert data showed a PSA 9 population of 70 and pop higher of 21 for one cert record, which supports recording grade scarcity only as a grading-database count. Price movement between copies depends on the exact printing, condition, grader, grade, centering, surface wear, authenticity confidence, and whether a buyer wants the playable original or a collectible slab. Reserved List status does not replace comparable sales. [3]
Authenticity checks
AnalysisCompare against official references; multiple checks; no destructive tests; copied cert numbers exist. For Library of Alexandria, compare the Arabian Nights symbol, black border, card back, text, art, print registration, corners, and wear against known authentic examples. Old Magic cards are frequently counterfeited, so a low-resolution photo or a plausible story is not enough. If slabbed, match the cert record, grade, label details, and visible card; if raw, require clear front, back, edge, and angled-light photos before treating a sale as a comp. [3][4]
