Set History
Unlimited was sold in Starter Packs of 60 cards and Booster packs of 15 cards. It was the first set to be officially titled as something other than just Magic: The Gathering. The "Unlimited Edition" label appears on the booster boxes, decks, and booster packs.
The set contains the same set of cards as the previous set, Beta, including the so-called "Power Nine" cards. The cards are also identical in appearance to those of Beta with the distinction that those of Beta are black-bordered and those of Unlimited white-bordered. The succeeding Revised edition is composed of a different set of cards than Unlimited. While some collectors can distinguish Unlimited cards from Revised cards by just looking at the text (wording and type set) the cards from both sets are more easily distinguished by comparing the borders of the cards. The picture frame of Unlimited cards has a beveled edge which Revised cards have not.

Famous quotes containing the words set and/or history:
“He that has his chains knocked off, and the prison doors set open to him, is perfectly at liberty, because he may either go or stay, as he best likes; though his preference be determined to stay, by the darkness of the night, or illness of the weather, or want of other lodging. He ceases not to be free, though the desire of some convenience to be had there absolutely determines his preference, and makes him stay in his prison.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
“History takes time.... History makes memory.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
