Topic: More Identification confusion!
OK so I have a Sylvan Library. It has no symbol, a 1995 date, but it has a black border. I would normally say 4th edition apart from the black border... ??? Any ideas?

Since it has no symbol, it pretty much has to be a core set printing (4th edition or 5th edition). 4th was printed in 1995, 5th in 1997. So unless this is a foreign-language printing (which you would have probably mentioned), this sounds like someone may have taken a sharpie to the usual white border and made it black.

Agreed, it is sharpied if English, Italian (legends first printing), French, or German (Renassance was the first printing of Sylvan for these languages, and that has legends set symbol).
If it is Spanish or Portuguese, it is 4th edition fbb.
