Swamp (34) Price

Updated 2026-07-30

Swamp numbered 34 from the Magic Encyclopedia 2005 Salvat/Hachette publication is one of the most unusual basic land printings in the game's history. The Magic Encyclopedia was a Spanish and Italian magazine series distributed in Europe from 2005, with each issue including Magic cards printed exclusively for that release with unique card backs and regional language text. These cards are not tournament-legal in any sanctioned format due to their non-standard backs, making them purely collector items. The Salvat/Hachette lands are among the most distinctively regional Magic printings ever produced, with availability weighted toward the Spanish and Italian markets where the magazine originally distributed. European collector demand for the complete set of these distinctive lands sustains a market largely invisible to North American collectors. Condition and the specific language variant are the primary valuation factors for this niche but persistent collector category. Completed European auction records are the most reliable pricing reference.
