What Metal cards are
Metal promos are special printings whose names end in “(Metal)”. In the catalog all 28 of them belong to the Organized Play promo set, code OPP, with collector numbers such as 017, 019, 021, 023, 181, 183 and so on. Each is its own TCGplayer product with its own price, separate from the standard card of the same name.

Why scanners confuse Metal cards with standard ones
A camera sees almost the same card, and the printed collector number can match the standard card’s. Name, number and artwork alone may not settle it, so RIFT SCAN shows a chooser when a standard card and its Metal promo both fit, instead of guessing. If you have a valuable promo, confirm the printing against its card page before relying on a scan. The wider problem is covered in what to do when the scanner picks the wrong card.
How to check a card is Metal
- Check the set code in the collector line: Metal promos in the catalog are in the OPP set.
- Handle the card: a Metal promo is physically different from a standard paper card, so weight and finish give it away.
- Find the card on its page and compare every printing; the Metal one is labelled “(Metal)”.
- Choose the matching printing in the scanner’s chooser and confirm the price is in the Metal price range, not the standard card’s.
Where Metal cards fit in the OPP set
The Organized Play promo set mixes Metal cards with other promotional printings. See the promo sets guide for every promo set and what is in it, and Organized Play Promotional Cards for the complete card list. Metal is one of four variant types; the others are alternate art, signature and overnumbered cards.

How these numbers are calculated
Every figure on this page is calculated when the site is built, from the public RiftHunt card catalog and the daily TCGplayer price estimates published through the RiftHunt API. A printing’s headline price is its normal market price, otherwise its foil market price, otherwise its lowest listing. Medians are used instead of averages so a few expensive cards do not distort the result. Prices are estimates for typical copies, not offers to buy or sell.

Are Metal cards worth more than the standard card?
As of 26 October 2026, the median Metal printing compared costs $1,333.31 against $20.11 for the standard card, so yes, usually by a wide margin. Look up the exact card to be sure.

- Promo sets guideThe catalog has 3 promo sets: Riftbound Promotional Cards (PR, 16 printings); Riftbound Organized Play Promotional Cards (OPP, 213 printings); Riftbound Judge Promotional Cards (JDG, 4 printings). Promo cards are distributed through events and programs rather than sold in boosters, and the Organized Play set is where the Metal cards live.
- Fixing a wrong scanA wrong Riftbound scan almost always comes from a misread character, glare over the collector line, or two printings that share a name or number, such as a Metal promo and its standard card. Compare the set code and number on the card with the result, then choose the right printing from the list or search by number.
- Variant price premiumsAs of 26 October 2026, the median standard Riftbound card is worth about $0.34, while the median alternate-art printing is $3.42, signature $670.46, overnumbered $87.66 and Metal $1,333.31. Variants are separate products with their own prices, so identify the exact printing first.
- Overnumbered cardsAn overnumbered Riftbound card has a collector number larger than its set’s printed size, for example 299/298, so it is not part of the standard numbered set. The catalog lists 88 across 5 sets. As of 26 October 2026, the median overnumbered printing compared costs $87.66, against $0.20 for the standard card.
