Riftbound overnumbered cards: what the number above the set size means

Topic: Variants & printings

Reading the number

Every card prints its number over the set size, like 134/166. A normal card’s number is at most the set size. An overnumbered card’s number is bigger than the set size, so it sits “over” the numbered set. Learn the layout in how to read a Riftbound card.

Overnumbered printings by set

There are 88 overnumbered printings among 1,702 in the catalog. They are labelled “(Overnumbered)” after the card name.

How much they cost

As of 26 October 2026, 88 overnumbered printings could be compared with their standard card: the median overnumbered price is $87.66 and the median standard card $0.20. The full comparison with other variants is in variant price premiums.

Why they matter for completing a set

A base set is every numbered card up to the set size, so overnumbered printings are not needed to finish it; they count toward a master set. That is why the cost to complete a set estimates leave them out, and why the Master set view of the collection tracker is much more expensive than the Base set view.

Telling an overnumbered card from a signature card

They can share a number, so check the label. Signature cards carry an artist’s signature; overnumbered cards carry none. Both are separate products, and the scanner’s chooser exists for exactly this case. If you are unsure, compare the artwork on the card page of each printing.

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. RIFT SCAN is an unofficial fan project; see about RIFT SCAN, or look up any card in the set lists.
