What the codes mean
The small print at the bottom of the Tempest card (#287).
Printed before collector numbers, which started with Exodus in 1998. The bottom shows only the artist credit ("Illus.") and the copyright. Set symbols were all black before Exodus, and core sets before Sixth Edition have none.

If a land with the supertype “basic” somehow has multiple subtypes, then the creature will gain landwalk of all those types.
