Two things a collector id does not tell you: the edition, a mark the early sets carried for their first print run, and the treatment, the way the art sits on the card. Counted over 10,287 printings of 5,304 cards; 8,913 printings come from sets without edition marks.
Welcome to Rathe's first print run was the Alpha print, marked on the card, and its reprint came Unlimited. From Arcane Rising on the first run carried a First Edition mark instead, with the Unlimited reprint following months later; the mark is what tells the two apart, the collector id is the same. The first run also had the better premium-foil slot, as LSS's own breakdown lines below say. The dataset records Everfest as First Edition only, and from Uprising (2022) on no set carries an edition mark.

The premium-foil lines are LSS's estimated rarity breakdown from the Collector Centre, quoted as written; the Pack odds section explains how to read them. Codes: A Alpha, F First Edition, U Unlimited.
fab-cube tags a printing with a treatment when its art or text differs from the plain version of the card. A treatment can sit on one finish only, an Extended Art rainbow foil next to a plain standard, and the card pages mark the finish it belongs to.
The illustration runs past the frame to the edge of the card and the text box shrinks or goes to a micro print. The usual dress of a promo, and of the foil chase versions inside a booster set.
Most of them in Local Game Store Promos 262, Promos 190, GEM Pack Promos 139, Dusk till Dawn 35, High Seas 35, Everfest 24 and 40 more
The illustration covers the whole card and the text sits over it. The Tournament Pack and the newer sets print their Marvels this way.
Most of them in Tournament Pack 60, High Seas 35, Usurp the Shadow Throne 27, Rosetta 23, Compendium of Rathe 23, Part the Mistveil 18 and 21 more
A different illustration of the same card: event and store promos mostly, and a few in-set versions.
Most of them in Promos 49, Local Game Store Promos 18, Compendium of Rathe - Antiquity Pack 11, Hero Card Promos 11, Compendium of Rathe 10, GEM Pack Promos 8 and 31 more
The frame itself changes, in colour or in shape, while the art stays. High Seas and the Antiquity Pack lean on it.
Most of them in High Seas 49, Compendium of Rathe - Antiquity Pack 37, Dynasty 11, Bright Lights 9, Uprising 1, Dusk till Dawn 1 and 2 more
The printed text differs from the standard version: cards reprinted with an updated wording, nearly all of them in Arcane Rising and Crucible of War.
Most of them in Arcane Rising 70, Crucible of War 40, Uprising 3, Promos 1, Hero Card Promos 1
Half the height of a card: the Rosetta tokens printed two to a sheet.
Most of them in Rosetta 3
Counts are front printings in the dataset at its last refresh; a printing with two treatments counts under both. Card names and images © Legend Story Studios.
